No photoshop, no AI, only analog "grand illusions." For her Body of Mirrors series, Jamie Isenstein captured dancer Cat DeAngelis Olson within a funhouse mirror arrangement of her own construction. Among the first works Isenstein made with a subject other than herself, the resulting photographs imbue the subject with autonomy while acknowledging the politically fraught landscape for bodies in which they were made.

Pictured alongside Body of Mirrors (Long Curved Arm) in the Body / Body / Body exhibition.
