100 Pictures, 100 Stories
100 Pictures, 100 Stories is the culmination of a twelve-month project by artists Chrissie Hall and Deb Morgan who photographed and interviewed 100 subjects of diverse backgrounds and practices, including artists, scientists, porn-stars, cake designers, chicken breeders, taxidermists, health professionals, performers, actors, craft beer connoisseurs and more.
Photographer, Chrissie Hall, and multi-platform artist, Deb Morgan, birthed the idea for the project after shooting and recording stories from 12 of their fellow artists at Arts Organisation, Create or Die. Both artists felt compelled to capture more people’s stories, so 100 people and hundreds of hours later; 100 Pictures, 100 Stories came to life.
The project entailed a one-on-one session where each person was asked to bring along objects they felt represented aspects of themselves. Each subject was captured in Hall’s signature photographic style, and then sat down for a cup of tea with Morgan to discuss their practice, philosophies and personal stories.
Along with each portrait will be a short story from the subject that was captured during Morgan’s conversations. The full stories will be available for people to take home and read in their own time.
