Artwork Title: Body & Sole

Body & Sole, 2004

Joan Semmel

"... But the other part of it that I liked very much was that, holding the camera to the mirror, when the picture is taken, the camera is then pointed at the audience, so it reverses the whole idea of being looked at. You’re not only being seen, but you are seeing them. I found that a very nice kind of reversal, one that I call a destabilization of the viewer and the viewed. http://hyperallergic.com/198526/on-sexual-paintings-and-shifting-images-an-interview-with-joan-semmel/
