Artist #5

Artist:Elina Brotherus
Date:2007
Title: In the mirror

I really like her photographs,I like the way she emphasize people's back."Brotherus here points also to the double identity that she  has long assumed in her own work." She usually uses her own body to model for her photographs.She said that "It is not me, It is a photograph" I like this photo since she is in the mirror, and in the big mirror,she is in the small mirror.When I looked at her work,I can feel her sadness. Like this photo here, Everything looks like a little bit broken, imperfection, the mirror looks old, so does the wall and the door,but I do like it.

Artist #4

Artist: Jim Campbell
Date: 2005
Title: Political Protest

"Jim Campbell  is a contemporary San Francisco based artist who primarily works with LED light installations." I do like his other LED light series, but my favorite one is this photo.

"The Political Protest series averages multiple still photographic images together through the layering of exposures. The pieces in the Political Protest series were created by averaging multiple still images of the Anti-War Protest at the 2004 Republican National Convention. These images are layered one on top of the other to realize a very dense image from the perspective of informational content. The resulting averaged image would be at the borderline of perceptibility."

I like his idea about putting different layers in one photo to make this photo looks amazing! I can spend a lot time to see this photo, because I think there are a lot of information on this photo.

Artist #3

Artist: Lucas Samaras
Date: I can't find it
Title:Sudden Breakthrough

Lucas Samaras is an artist who was born in Kastoria, Greece. The most popular series of his is called "Photo Transformations," he was using Polaroid photographic film to create a different self-images. He usually distorted and mutilated his photos.

I was googling, and trying to find whether he was using Polaroid to take this photo, but I can't find the results. I like this photo very much. I like the way his comparision the background with his hand. I think "Breakthrough" is the best for this photo. When I first saw it, I felt a little heart broken, but I like this feeling. The background also looks like a painting to me.
