Self-Portrait, 1987
ANNE-MARIE, Published by Steidl. Publication date: 2025
Jeremiah Dine’s Anne-Marie is a visual document of Dine’s relationship with his wife over 40 years. It explores their shared passion for one another, for the world around them, and their distinct visions as fellow artists. What happens to two people who shape their life together over the course of four decades? How does one’s view of a loved one change and deepen over so long a time? “The images in Anne-Marie involve not just one camera, one face and body, one pair of eyes,” writes Francine Prose in her introduction, “but two consciousness merged to make something that didn’t exist before, and that only existed at that one moment in time.” Created using a combination of 35mm and 120mm film, black-and-white and color, digital, Polaroid, iPhone, disposable camera, manipulated and traditional techniques, this book is a kaleidoscopic, compelling statement on how photographing someone is a means to understand yourself. It is both a portrait and a self-portrait of the duality of a long-term relationship.
When I came to live with a photographer I agreed to trust his eye, and consciously chose to say yes to being his subject. This is a choice I have made repeatedly through the many years we have been together. An open and uncritical yes to the mystery of the creative process. -Anne-Marie McIntyre
When you are in love with someone, their life, past, present and future, becomes in a curious way part of your life; and yet, at the same time, since two separate human entities in fact remain, you merely carry your own prejudices into another person’s imagined existence; not even into their ‘real’ existence, because only they themselves can estimate what their ‘real’ existence has been. -Anthony Powell, The Acceptance World
I can still remember that moment when I first saw her. July 1985. Blind date. We met in front of Cooper Union. She had a red bandana in her hair. I was shocked at how beautiful and cool she was. We spent the day together in a blur. She was funny and smart and sexy and seemed to like me. 10 hours later we were planning our next date. -Jeremiah Dine
