Cohen, Occupied Territory

Aperture’s expanded and updated reissue of Lynne Cohen’s Occupied Territory presents two decades of photographs exploring standardized, simulated spaces. From classrooms and laboratories to offices, waiting rooms, and recreational interiors, Cohen reveals the artificiality and social engineering embedded in everyday environments. Situating her work within the tradition of New Topographics photography, this edition includes previously unpublished images that deepen her study of space, function, and constructed reality.
