Alison Jackson has photographed the Queen of England on the toilet, George Bush & Tony Blair chatting in the sauna, Mick Jagger doing gymnastics, & Monica Lewinsky lighting Bill Clinton's cigar. Or has she? The likenesses are uncanny, but, of course, her subjects are look-alikes. Her photos demonstrate that, while seeing is believing, the truth is another story entirely. In her work, Jackson says, ' Likeness becomes real & fantasy touches on the believable. The viewer is suspended in disbelief. I try to highlight the psychological relationship between what we see & what we imagine. This is bound up in our need to look
- our voyeurism
- & our need to believe.' Indeed, by showing 'celebrities' ostensibly caught unaware, Jackson's pictures reveal what we can imagine might go on behind closed doors. Her work has caused controversy, not least because it treads in a very gray area between parody & realism by seeming to break down the carefully controlled private lives of public figures.
