Contents

In 2017, Olivia Locher (b.1990) rose to fame with the groundbreaking photography series I fought the Law, depicting and breaking eccentriclaws from each of America's 50 states. The images, shot against block colour backgrounds, include playful - and sometimes bizarre - acts of disobedience. In Alabama, for example, it is still illegal to have an ic cream cone in your back pocket, due to robbers historically luring from horses away from their owners and feigning ignorance.
