Laurie Simmons: How We See

Jewish Museum, New York

NOW CLOSED

In ‘How We See’, Laurie Simmons draws on the ‘Doll Girls’ subculture of people who alter themselves with makeup, dress, and even cosmetic surgery to look like Barbie, baby dolls, and anime characters. Evoking the tradition of the high-school portrait — when teenagers present their idealised selves to the camera — Simmons photographed fashion models seated in front of a curtain, cropped from the shoulders down.
