Laurie Simmons: Walking, Talking, Lying
by Kate Linker
On This Page
Description
"Laurie Simmons is one of the first contemporary American photographers to create elaborately staged narrative photographs. Using dolls to act out piquant scenarios within specially constructed environments, she has slyly commented on contemporary culture while recapturing a sense of her childhood in an era she recalls as "both beautiful and lethal". Populated by housewives, ventriloquists' dummies, and familiar objects in unfamiliar guises, her diverse tableaux are often infused with show more bittersweet nostalgia yet charged with a disquieting sense of dislocation."--Jacket. show lessTags
