A set of 3 packs containing a combined total of 128 quarto size digital photographic prints of Cosey’s sex-magazine actions, stripping agency promo shots, and photographs from her live performances. 97 colour and 31 b/w prints, each one with a brief description printed to upper margin. Contained in three clear plastic sleeves with card backing.
Images from Cosey’s '70s sex-magazine actions were exhibited at COUM’s ‘Prostitution’ show at the ICA in London in 1976, and several included here feature shots by Laszlo Szabo, her favoured photographer. Photo-documented actions include “Woman’s Role #4 Action” (A.I.R. Gallery, London, July 1976); three performances at the Hayward Gallery, London, for the ‘Hayward Annual 1979’ (photographed by Peter Christopherson); and “The Thighs That Bind Me Sub-Cultural Action No. 5” (1994). Other images include an outtake promo shot for Chris & Cosey’s 1987 12” single, “Obsession”.
Original plastic sleeve missing from one pack (replaced with similar); plastic sleeve ripped and torn on another; one of two plain card backings missing from the third pack. Prints Fine. Publication details unknown.
