From the Kaufman Repetto press release:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Model, Talia Chetrit reflects on the complex relationship between reality and representation, investigating themes of authenticity in the photographic medium through the exchange between subject and photographer. Alongside the new series of photographs, a video captures Talia Chetrit\u2019s parents \u2013 present in earlier photographic works \u2013 as unwitting subjects of a collection of video clips. Parents candidly records the self-conscious posturing of the artist\u2019s mother and father, contrasting the act of staging an image with the relationships created in the act of photographic portrayal.<\/em><\/p>\n

While Talia Chetrit photographs, a digital camera films the artist\u2019s unsuspecting parents, capturing interstitial situations \u2013 bits of conversations and gestures \u2013 whose intimacy is made public. The video exposes what happens behind the curtains of the photographic sessions, moments which lead to an image but are normally left out of the final photograph, revealing the view of the artist as curious, voyeuristic and directorial. Explicitly rendered is a vulnerable and private exchange between three members of a family, as well as a photographer and her models.<\/em><\/h5>\n

This process exposes artifice \u2013 the posing of subjects for a desired effect \u2013 while simultaneously revealing the net of relationships that exist between husband and wife, parents and daughter. Accordingly, the family unit alternates between complicity and disobedience to the power dynamic that exists between the photographer and the portrayed subject. The ostensible sincerity of the candid camera gives a window to the illusory character of photography.<\/em><\/p>\n

The accompanying series of photographs show Talia Chetrit\u2019s parents gazing into each other\u2019s eyes, then at their phones or a compact mirror, then back at the camera lens. Employing a number of photographic styles, the components of which allude to authenticity or staging, Chetrit debases the tropes of portraiture. Encountered after viewing Parents in the adjacent gallery, a seemingly candid image taken from a second floor balcony feels intently posed. The use of three different camera formats further highlight the ways in which the fabrication of an image influences its reception.<\/em><\/p>\n

The interrelation of the video and photographic works in Model places emphasis on the unseen structures inherent to photography, investigating the role of photographer and subject as both attempt to fashion an image that reads as sincere. What becomes visible through Talia Chetrit\u2019s laying bare of her working process is that from behind the camera lens sincerity can also be constructed.<\/em><\/h5>\n
