laurie simmons is one of the first contemporary american photographers to have created elaborately staged narrative photographs. in laurie simmons: walking, talking, lying, kate linker concentrates on selected series—from “ventriloquism,” “walking objects,” and “lying objects” to the 1997 self-portraits and the “café of the inner mind”—to illuminate ideas that cut through the artist’s entire body of work. of particular interest are the willfully ambiguous interplay between objects, figures, and backgrounds, and the way specific things (toys, cakes, guns) and settings (suburban interiors, theatrical stages) take on strange powers in simmons’s photographs.
