US$30,000.00 **About The Artist**Prager's highly staged, theatrical, and cinematic images are inspired by a wide range of references and influences, including street photography, classic Hollywood cinema and experimental films. This new series of photographs draw influence from early Surrealist photographers, particularly those exploring and distorting the body in their images such as Man Ray, Maurice Tabard and Hans Bellmer. Whereas the early Surrealists used advances in camera technology, film developing and printing to achieve their disorienting images, Prager used a decidedly more analog technique to stage these photographs. She had each actor stand behind and protrude their head or limbs through a simple backdrop. This simple construction is not hidden in the images, however in some cases the artist employed computer technology to manipulate the composition and placement of each part to create seamless results. Using these two techniques further calls into question what is real and artificial._Courtesy of Lehmann Maupin Gallery_Edition of 5 2009 c-print 36 x 48 inches 91.4 x 121.9 cm 37.25 x 49.25 inches (framed) 94.6 x 125.1 cm**Please Note: **Shipping charges will be provided at time of purchase.
