Talia Chetrit<\/strong>: Poser<\/em> Sies + H\u00f6ke, September 2017<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the Sies + H\u00f6ke press release:<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Poser Talia Chetrit takes her own archive as the subject of an exhibition. In this show she presents two rooms of staged photographs taken over a 23 year span as a contiguous body\u2014portraits taken by Chetrit as a teenager of her friends, all aged 12-15 from 1994-1997, and three new self-portraits shot in 2017. In the first set of photographs we see crops of young girls\u2019 faces, other girls in lackadaisical repose, two listlessly lying on a bed nude as well as more recent, provocative images Chetrit has taken of herself\u2014donning only panty hose on her face or a plastic shirt, both in overly dramatized makeup.<\/em><\/h5>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The work is possible within scalar and temporal shifts of representation that call the very processes of image making into question\u2014framing and reframing the failures of her subjects\u2019 intentions, of pretense and of appearing. Her preoccupation with the memory of those early shoots gives impetus to this show as something beyond \u2018autobiography\u2019, however. \u00a0At the time, she\u2014newly behind the lens as an artist\u2014and her friends were enacting their burgeoning agencies through each other, as peers, sharing in the spectacle of these photoshoots; this\u2014opposed to her present experience, in which she uses these same images of the girls, then more than half age that she is now, along side images of her adult self\u2014elicits a potently perverse anachronism. We see structures of power and dynamics of relations, prescience of our younger selves, all stripped bare and redressed by turns.<\/em><\/h5>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

She has consistently, and by necessity, been concerned with the limits of the self-image and the implication of others in her practice. The forensic aspect of this work allows the artist to produce a double take on her own processes. The leaky, violent sophistication of the teen murder scenes alongside the almost clown level of makeup and \u2018costuming\u2019 –in both the images taken of her friends, and those she takes of herself–are leveled on a strange plane of equivalence. Like her previous shows, this work sits inside the unbounded intersections of staging and discovery, of human bodies, objects and meaning, which naturally emerge when photography is considered an act of performance\u2014it’s through this process that Chetrit continually reappraises her role as a photographer and that of photography itself.<\/em><\/h5>\n
