Photographer #157: Tierney Gearon
Tierney Gearon, 1963, USA, made photographic series involving her mother and her children. Her photographs have been called "manipulative, disturbingly ambigious and perverse." When her series I am a Camera, about her two children, was exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery, the London Police demanded to take them down. The images by Tierney are personal, innocent and pure. In her latest project Explosure she stays close to home, taking pictures of her family life and on family trips, but this times she double-exposes her negatives. The following images come from the series Explosure, The Mother Project and I am a Camera.

I know that some of these pics are supposed to look creepy...and they do, yes they do. Gives me a bad feeling to see the children, naked, with masks. :( And then, the other of folks looking on.
What is art? what is not? this showing provokes those questions and more...
Too much dysfuctional functioning in my family of origin.
Kind of the same thing Sally Mann had to deal with I guess...
I know it looks creepy, but there's so much more behind this kinda photography... I myself don't really look at the naked child, but I look at the full picture... If you focus only on the naked child... Yeah then it probably would be pervy...
But yeah that's my opinion...
