Nan Goldin - Scopophilia @ Matthew Marks NY

Nan Goldin invited by Le Louvre to compose a collection of images of her own work and images from the Lourve's collection. She was allowed to photograph anything in the museum. The way she has composed the images together brings the older paintings alive and enables the viewer to realise the timelessness of such human behaviour.

From Boris Mikhailov series Red 68-75.

I like the women's relationships with the camera in this selection of photos from Red. They seem to not be referencing themselves to media as Saja Ivekjovic notes in her Double Life series.

Nikki S. Lee from Hiphop, Hispanic, Ohio, Schoolgirl, Tourist and Yuppie Series.

After observing particular subcultures and ethnic groups, Nikki S. Lee adopts their general style and attitude through dress, gesture, and posture, and then approaches the group in her new guise. She introduces herself as an artist (though not everyone believes her or takes it seriously), and then spends several weeks participating in the group’s routine activities and social events while a friend or member of the group photographs her with an ordinary automatic “snapshot” camera.
