Corinne May Botz
Hardcover / 9 × 11.5 inches / 130 pages / $50
Designed by Luminosity Lab
Milk Factory records the invisible labor inside America’s lactation rooms, taking viewers into disparate sites such as a prison, banking firm, farm laborers’ tent, schools, an airport, and the U.S. Capitol. Botz’s photographs honor this unrecognized labor and challenge romanticized portrayals of motherhood, reflecting contradictions inherent in modern parenthood and public policy. The photographs are accompanied by essays from Corinne Botz, Hettie Judah, and Mathilde Cohen, along with first-hand accounts of pumping experiences from women across the socio-economic spectrum. The images and texts subtly comment on the power relationships that exist at the intersection of women’s bodies with employment and politics. The solitary pumping experiences take on collective power through the accumulation of photographs and text. Deeply personal and urgently political, Milk Factory is an embodied study of reproductive labor and the architecture of care.
Corinne Botz is a photographic artist, filmmaker, and educator whose books include The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death and Haunted Houses. Her work has been widely exhibited including the Brooklyn Museum, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Wellcome Collection, Kunstmuseum Basel, Turner Contemporary, Alice Austen House, and Benrubi Gallery. Botz’s photography has been written about by TheNew York Times, The New Yorker, Village Voice, Granta, Bookforum, Foam, the Paris Review, and Hyperallergic, among others.
