Debbie Harry with posters, New York City, 1978

Made in New York City in 1978, this image of Debbie Harry with Blondie posters examines the feedback loop between performer and image. The postered background becomes an archive within the photograph, suggesting how quickly Blondie’s visual identity entered circulation.

Chris Stein understood that the band’s history was also a history of pictures, graphics, surfaces, and repetition. His photographs of Harry often hold these layers together, presenting the artist within the visual culture she helped produce.
