Self Portrait as Dirty Jessie

So much has been said lately about my ironic pursuit of childhood and playfulness through photography, and I can only agree with that, of course. 

This self portrait, taken after Sally Mann's photograph of her daughter in a futile intent to become someone's baby again (futile because I'm a woman, not a baby; futile because I am the creator of the image, before being the model or the object), is a perfect example, I think, of this game I'm playing without any chance to win.

Anyhow, today I'm travelling to visit my parents in Mexico and try to be their baby again, so this post is also a goodbye for a few weeks.

Have fun, be naughty, bye bye...

Dirty Jessie, by Sally Mann, 1985

Living room landscape

It's been such a long while since I had time to play with Lego, to fool around with my camera without a fixed artistic purpose, to create something other than buzz around PLAY . Finally, the day before yesterday a miracle happened and I found some time to refresh myself.

This is one of the results - a living room landscape with a Lego piece I built over a month ago (poor baby, a whole month waiting to be photographed and destroyed). I hope you like it.

And talking about buzz, this is PLAY'S last weekend. If you haven't seen it, please do come!!

Untitled

Accidentally, a few days ago I erased the post with this image, featuring now in a sales exhibition organized by Site Specific, in Cheetah Gallery (Hahashmal 33 Tel Aviv). It's strange, cause you can always upload an image again, but in a blog, you can never go back to the date the post what written, nor to it's exact content.

Anyway, you are all invited to go and see the real thing, in the real world... you are also more than welcome to buy it :)

Have a great weekend

Rinat
