Zoe got her career breakethrough in 1992, when she created a series of spread-leg photographs of women friend’s genitalia for Documenta in Kassel, Germany. She casually tacked her pussy shots up on walls between 18th and 19th century paintings in the town museum.\u00a0By inserting\u00a0her erotic photos in what is a traditionally male space and she opened a space for the ‘cruising eye’ of the lesbian viewers in the museum.
\nFor the last decade she has been working\u00a0a body of work, which as she explains is ‘a record of an urban landscape, as a way of looking at, who we are as a people. Who we are as a cultur and – sort of understanding – the city as a social space, as an economic space, a political space, and also as an emotional space.’<\/p>\n
