Jamie Isenstein
For her Body of Mirrors series, Jamie Isenstein constructed a funhouse mirror in her studio and invited dancer Cat DeAngelis Olson to perform a series of movements, capturing the results with a camera. In keeping with the artist's strictly analogue practice, no digital manipulation was used in the process, highlighting Isenstein's interests in perception, humor, and dread in the world around us.
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.
