I think I have some interesting photographs from the Diane Arbus exhibit "Constellation." These are people reading text on the wall that is the timeline of her life. Love all these different silhouettes!
This is the opening view of the exhibit. You may see a familiar figure somewhere in this photo.
As I walked along the edge of the exhibit, going from the front to the back, I noticed a photographer with a camera around his neck. Then I thought "He looks like me." THEN I realized that it WAS me! The entire rear of the exhibit is a floor to ceiling mirror that makes the exhibit look twice as large as it actually is. And, of course, reflects the image of you as you look at it.
When I turned the corner again, there was the proof that there was, indeed, a mirror along the whole back wall.
There have been thousands of words written about the work of Diane Arbus and what she chooses as her subjects and I can't begin to describe all the portraits that were there. Suffice it to say, she chose, in her work, to photograph many people that we would never see in our lives. So many of these portraits were stunning, and unusual and some strange.
Some were printed very dark for aesthetic reasons and I had difficulty understanding that, at times.
I cannot begin to describe the wide range of subjects in her portraits. Also there were about 450 photographic prints on display, and many of the photographs I have never been published or displayed before. Honestly, it was a powerful show and exhausting and thought provoking.
