Text by Tom McDonough
By re-photographing film stills of famous actresses holding cameras, the artist switches the subject of the picture from the woman being photographed to the viewer looking at her. These iconic women, ordinarily positioned as objects of the gaze, stare back through their own raised lenses, repositioning themselves as the ones doing the looking rather than the ones being looked at.
