THIS
IS A PICTURE OF ME
 This
is a picture of me is a response to our relationship with mediated
images, specifically those of women. I use the transgressive space
of self-portraiture to upend the canonical power relationship between
photographer and subject. This is a picture of me is an attempt
to locate the self in an image. This series both evokes the impossibility
of going back to childhood and questions the desire to do so. The
reenactment of these gestures by an adult body transforms the seemingly
innocuous childhood poses into suggestive and sexualized performances,
which emphasize the unconscious influence of mediated images in
vernacular photography. |
