Len Prince: Jessie Mann ‘Self-Possessed’

Len Prince: Jessie Mann ‘Self-Possessed’ at Catherine Edelman Gallery in Chicago, IL. "...Len Prince and Jessie Mann first met in 2001. He was a photographer looking for a muse. She was the well known daughter and frequent subject for her mother, Sally Mann, who felt compelled to explore the creative possibilities of self-fictionalization, or, as she says, "making art by being in art". The pair embarked on a partnership which is about the act of collaboration, carefully creating memorable images that combine theatrics, performance, and ideas.
Inspired by works from mythology, art history and pop-culture, this new series references both public and personal ideologies. In the end, we witness the celebration of a photographer and his muse, committed to reinterpreting the history of art and photography, and the impact of contemporary pop culture on society today."
