Life with Maggie opens Friday night at C/O Berlin. The exhibition is part of their annual Talents series of solo exhibitions and publications.
From the press release:
“When you embark on a trip, you’re bound to have some experiences. That can certainly be said of Maggie, a young woman who has kept a colorful photo diary of all the places she has visited—from the beach in Pensacola, Florida, to the mountains of Monticello, Utah. She poses in the usual tourist style before sunsets at the water’s edge, picturesque landscapes, and modern architecture. The only odd thing about these travel photos is Maggie herself: in them she is always hiding her true identity behind a mask. Furthermore, her clothing often corresponds subtly with her surroundings, picking up their tones and textures. Can these pictures still be called classic vacation photos? What is actually being documented here? Who is this Maggie, and what is her real destination?”
