In her work, Anderson invents and acts out fictitious dramas. Clad in a cocktail dress, she places herself in a variety of settings, ranging from the stark Southwestern landscape, to nondescript motel rooms, to a New York rooftop. These are not, however, your typical self-portraits or landscape photographs—the character Anderson plays is dead; this adds an element of the surreal to these otherwise banal landscapes.
