What a sweet display about identity! Lorna Simpson acquired vintage photo booth images of African American subjects from the 1940s to '70s. There is a voyeuristic element, as the subjects were thought to be alone behind the photo booth curtain. In addition, I am quite intrigued by the placement and random looking nature of the placement of images. This would be quite the installation to see in person.

This photo looks a bit like the rainbow is raining into the MOCA Design Center gallery space. I know, rainbows raining, right? On this blog, I haven't showed much other than photography but this installation was too good to pass up. It reminded me a bit of other textile and thread installations I've seen recently. It's amazing how it changes the spaces and becomes a factor in the environment, not to mention how aesthetically pleasing it is!

It took me a while to find an image of this work that was larger than a thumbnail. Glad I found it finally because it is a dynamic image. I love how the contact sheets are integrated into the final work. Maybe that's a photo-geek thing. The digital image of this (like the other works from this week) doesn't do it justice. It would be wonderful to see the small bits of information to relate the contact sheet images to the larger kissing silhouettes. What a beautiful representation of bodies. Did someone say theory concerning the body?!
