Photography

Elizabeth Taylor, Frida Kahlo, Jane Fonda, Mao and Charlie Chaplin are just a few of the identities appropriated by Morimura for his hybrid self portraits produced over the course of his long career. Based on a sizeable exhibition of Polaroid photographs presented along with a selection of his large scale, finished images, this catalogue published in close collaboration with the artist contains an overview of his oeuvre and lays bare Morimura's process of creation for the first time.
