“I don’t really know what that holding is about, because I think that my portraits hold people too. But it is something that I feel has been with me since childhood, and runs metaphorically through various bodies of work.” —Catherine Opie

Sini Anderson, the acclaimed director of The Punk Singer (2013) documentary about feminist punk icon Kathleen Hanna, recently released Catherine Opie b. 1961, commissioned by Los Angeles County Museum of Art Productions. In this extraordinary short documentary, Opie shares the personal and political motivations for her provocative and influential photography, with no small amount of emotion, insight, and architecture porn.
