Jessica Dimmock | sneak-preview 'Paparazzi!'

November 26, 2008

During the upcoming exhibition 'The Ninth Floor' (Jan 30 - March 8, 2009), a sneak-preview will feature unique photo's of the new series 'Paparazzi!'.

 

Paparazzi! explores the ghoulish fascination with celebrity images and looks at the men that create these photographs.  The project pays close attention the the highly sexualized relationship between photographer and photographed, and examines the hunter/prey dynamic between the two.  At its core, this project strikes at the heart of what it is to be an American in the current time.  Never before has there been such a fascination, interest and obsession with the everyday occurrences of Hollywood stars, nor has it ever been so profitable.  As editorial magazines and newspapers go out of business nation wide, celebrity magazines pack the shelves and are amongst the only forms of print media making any profit.
