Len Prince: Jessie Mann 'Self Possesed'

Len Prince: Jessie Mann 'Self Possesed' March 2 — April 14, 2007

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.

Jessie Mann ‘Self-Possessed’ fuses conceptual astuteness and technical excellence. It is the result of a five year collaboration between a highly regarded photographer and a subject who wittingly and unwittingly has become one of the most compelling and controversial models in photography today.
