Carol Jerrems’ Actor Judy Morris Smoking on the set of “In Search Of Anna” is an extraordinarily rare and incredibly powerful photograph. Known for elegantly bringing together performed, documentary and autobiographical image-making, Jerrems was a woman both for and of her times.
Her seminal body of work documents the revolutionary spirit and cultures of Indigenous Australians, disaffected youth, and the emergent feminist movement of Melbourne in the 1970s. Jerrems’ photographic output has been compared to that of internationally known Americans Larry Clark – of a slightly older generation – and Nan Goldin, as well as fellow Australian William Yang.
