Behind the Pictures: An Interview with Joanne Leonard

Abstract

In this edited interview, feminist visual artist Joanne Leonard contemplates her works of art as interruptions of linear chronology that reform temporality to reflect more accurately the intersection of memories. The interview, conducted by Sidonie Smith, further explores the duality and relationality present in Leonard's photography, photo collages, and visual-verbal works, as well as in her autobiographical book Being in Pictures: An Intimate Photo Memoir.
