Linda Salerno "A Selection of Experimental Photographs from the 'BLACK MIRROR' Series"
Baxter Street/ the Camera Club of NY
This event has ended.
In her "Black Mirror" Series of experimental large-scale photographs, Salerno creates a sensual journey through a visionary landscape. Her own self-portrait figure guides the viewer through a lush terrain of dream and memory. A complex blending of painting and photography techniques, these images have less in common with the photographic self-portrait tradition of Claude Cahun and Cindy Sherman that emphasizes identity and women’s roles, than with the cinematic precedent of Maya Deren, which ventures into ritual and the unconscious. First of all, the self-portrait figures are not frontal; they are mostly seen from the back or side, as the protagonist leads us through an enigmatic world of metamorphosis, down pathways through foliage or across a terrain shared by fish. With her long hair and full skirt, she is an alluring figure, a spirit to follow in a trance-like state.
