Anne Turyn, a fine art photographer, writer, and editor based in New York City, often merges image and text in her work, navigating between objective truths and personal memories. Her series New York City in 1979, created to accompany Kathy Acker’s texts in Top Stories, captures the essence of the city in black and white. The photographs, showcasing streets, people, and architecture, often appear blurry or taken from unusual angles, evoking fleeting glimpses and memories. Turyn’s Flashbulb Memories explores the psychological phenomenon of merging significant historical events with personal recollections, creating a dynamic interplay between objective text and subjective imagery. Illustrated Memories features invented images that construct a fictional biography, challenging the authenticity of both images and memories. In Waiting, Turyn captures individuals queuing for immigration processing, highlighting their human stories while reflecting on broader social conditions. The series Looking reverses the voyeuristic gaze, depicting those searching for wolves in Yellowstone National Park as the observed. Her periodical Top Stories showcased various artists, including Acker and Laurie Anderson, across 29 issues from 1978 to 1991. Turyn’s work has been exhibited in renowned institutions like the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
