The Great Life

digital prints, 2013

Can we come to terms with someone else's shadow? The work shows moments of confrontations
with photographs-shadows of:
— Jackson Pollock (a photograph by Martha Holmes of 1949)
— John Salling, a former Confederate soldier (a photograph by Allan Grant of 1953)
— a couple at a cocktail party in Chicago (a photograph by Francis Miller of 1957)
— Marilyn Monroe (a photograph by Philippe Halsman of 1959)
— John F. Kennedy (a photograph by Paul Schutzer of 1961)

A person crouches on a stool under a spotlight, casting a shadow on the floor. The figure is blurred due to motion. The shape of the shadow aligns with the figure of a person in the superimposed black-and-white image.
