You might have heard about Alison Jackson, controversial photographer which tries to makes us think about our relation (or fixation as shes says) with fame and celebrity culture.
She’s currently exhibiting her art in LA and will be in Paris from April 2 to 7.
From a recent presse release :
Alison Jackson creates films, photographic images and sculptures about our fixation with fame and celebrity culture. These Mimeses use look-a-likes of celebrities and public figures to create a photographic or filmic image, which challenges the observers’ perception of reality by creating a false reality. Only on second or third glance does the viewer question the truth of what they are seeing. Jackson describes her work as an exploration of what we see and what we imagine, the interplay of our voyeuristic needs and our urge to believe, challenging the photographs’ claim to tell the truth.
