Corey Helford Gallery - Chris Anthony


Corey Helford Gallery is proud to present “I’m The Most Normal Person I Know”, a solo exhibition of new works by Los Angeles photographer Chris Anthony. For his second solo show at Corey Helford, Anthony transforms his childhood daydreams and obsessions with Lilliputia into a series of otherworldly narratives and haunting portraits. Employing his personal collection of vintage lenses that span from 1870 to 1910 and a medley of cheesecloth, papier mache, velvet, doll parts, dress forms, mannequins and tattered clothes, Anthony creates a unique world fi lled with his signature fantastical aesthetic and technical artistry. Accompanying “I’m The Most Normal Person I Know” will be a limited-edition book of 1,000 copies under the same title, which features photographs from the exhibition as well as additional images.
