Girl Pictures (1997–2002), Justine Kurland

A wild group of girls walking through a meadow filled with spring-bursts of yellow blooms.

In Girl Pictures, teenage girls roam liminal territories—underpasses, meadows, highwaysides—not as victims or symbols, but as protagonists in their own loose, feral mythology. Kurland’s project, born from road trips and real-time improvisation, conjures an alternate reality where girls evade domestic scripts, constructing micro-societies rooted in tenderness, mischief, and quiet rebellion.
