These photos are excerpts from a 7" x 11" catalogue. Photograph on left is entitled [Simulacrum]. The theatricalized or performative photograph, the staged tableau, looks at a layering of imaging and complexities. Different realities collaged together or superimposed one upon the other make a multi-dimensional image almost surreal in nature. What are they acting out, a woman taking the place of a man on the cross and another woman outlining the cross around her figure? It is set up for more questions than answers, different levels of reality. You are never quite sure what is occuring or how these women have been brought together.
