032c - KRISTEN STEWART ZINE

In May 2019, photographer Collier Schorr and actress Kristen Stewart spent time together at artist Savannah Knoop's Manhattan apartment. At that time, the film "JT Leroy," directed by Justin Kelly and based on Knoop’s memoir "Girl Boy Girl: How I Became JT Leroy," with Stewart portraying the author, had recently hit US theaters. This 25-page fanzine, bound with staples, captures the conversation from that day, featuring photo documentation by Schorr and an introduction by Knoop. The resulting narrative is rich with layers of intimacy. In front of Schorr’s lens, Stewart discusses her portrayal of Knoop, Knoop reflects on embodying JT Leroy in real life, and all three engage in reflections on play, delving into topics such as BDSM, gender, and Chanel. Stewart, removed from the typical Hollywood setting, candidly shares thoughts that she usually keeps off-camera, expressing, "Usually, as soon as the thing goes on, the whole temperature changes, and then I’m super aware. But right now, I’m like, ‘Okay, I can say absolutely fucking anything.’"
