Collier Schorr & Jeremy O. Harris on from eternity to performance

Collier Schorr is an artist and photographer based in New York, USA. Often using subjects allegorically, her work navigates the auspices of identity politics to ask questions about the nomenclature of selfhood and the fluid nature of authorship and performance in relation to portraiture.  

Jeremy O. Harris is a playwright and the creator of the award-winning Slave Play (2018), which last year garnered the highest-ever number of Tony-nominations for a play. He co-wrote A24’s upcoming film ZOLA with director Janicza Bravo, which premiered at Sundance in 2020 and is a co-producer of HBO’s hit television series EUPHORIA (2019–ongoing).
