Debbie Harry - Anya Machine Gun on the Staten Island ferry, New York City, 1977

Made on the Staten Island Ferry in 1977, this image of Debbie Harry as Anya with a machine gun prop places Blondie’s visual world between cinema, performance, and downtown provocation. The ferry setting opens the work beyond the club, into the public theater of New York City.

Chris Stein’s photographs often move fluidly between documentary record and constructed persona. His proximity to Harry allowed him to register both the theatrical surface and the creative intelligence behind it.
