Lot Essay

Jessica Craig-Martin lives a double life. In her day job, she snaps stars and influencers at glitzy parties as a professional photographer, and her images are published worldwide in the pages of magazines such as and . In her more subversive artistic practice, however, she pictures the excess of this monied elite in photos that are rather too close for comfort. Tightly cropped, harshly lit and unforgiving, these images provide a humorously lurid (and carefully anonymised) glimpse beneath the immaculate sheen of high society. Zooming in on moments of debauchery and theatrical details of clothing, jewellery, and cosmetics, Craig-Martin undermines this rarefied world’s carefully constructed façade of glamour and sophistication.
