Spa

Since the 1970s, Cohen's photographic work has been inspired by various forms of commercial art, such as advertising and real estate photographs, as well as by diverse domestic and public architectural environments. Cohen has photographed classrooms, laboratories and spas for the last thirty years, and over time the difference between these spaces has become distorted. Laboratories start to resemble spas; spas took on the appearance of laboratories. Throughout these interior studies, Cohen has created an in-depth archive of images that address many aspects of our culture. The parameters that circumscribe her working method are more often encountered in the world of scientific enquiry, where the same problem can be worked on for an entire lifetime.
