Remixing Photographs: Cassandra Jones
Monday March 22, 2010 |
 Cassandra Jones joins multiple images to form elaborate kalidoscopic tangles. Rara Avis is a series of works composed of found snapshot photographs of real pink flamingos that are discernibly reminiscent of their retro plastic counter-part, the lawn ornament. “I have found that one of the most common snapshots taken of a wading flamingo, is indeed, the profile of the bird's long, soft, curved neck and down-bent bill,” Jones writes. “This particular collection of photographs led me to wonder, is it possible that an item of now historical kitsch might influence the picture taking of the real, live thing? After all, Americans are much more familiar with the nature of the stylized, florescent version, than the actual bird itself.”
The detail in Jones’ work is amazing and deserves multiple looks to appreciate its full effect.
