For Taryn Simon (b. 1975, USA), photography has always been a vehicle for larger conceptual ideas. Simon’s projects often involve great technical, physical and aesthetic feats, reflecting the control and authority that form the grist of her work. Her photographs are frequently paired with text. A blur occurs between text and image, and each is altered by the other, again and again, back and forth, revealing the structures behind controlling systems, from ancestry and borders to botany and diplomacy. In “Portraits and Surrogates,” Simon suggests the transformative power of the subject and its photograph; how even the most banal object becomes freighted with new significance when exposed to different cultural and political circumstances. The exhibition draws from three key bodies of recent work (“Paperwork and the Will of Capital,” “A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters I–XVIII” and Cutaways (2012)) as well as a video self-portrait made in collaboration with a Russian news program examining the reciprocity between portraits and their surrogates. This is Simon’s first exhibition in Hong Kong.
