about.

‘‘Pissing Women’ - visual artist & photographer Sophy Rickett’s influential series of portraits of women pissing in public, caused a storm in the art world in 1994. Now, thirty years later, these era-defining images are reproduced with testimonies from the writers, musicians, artists & creatives on whose work they have had a profound influence.

Featuring positioning essays from and interviews with musician St Vincent, poet Eileen Myles, artist Chila Burman, choreographer Holly Blakey, filmmaker Sophie Fiennes, actor Lily Cole, comedian Sophie Duker, photographer Juno Calypso & more, Rickett’s pioneering exploration of female identity, memory & the upheaval of the post-Thatcher years is revisited here – & remains as remarkable in the 21st century as it did three decades ago.’
