Two weeks ago, I sat in on a lecture given by Taryn Simon about her latest body of work An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar.
She gave a great talk in which she went through this series and her last one, The Innocents. I had never heard of Taryn Simon before this talk but I'm so glad I went and am now a huge fan.
Her latest work chronicls her travels to places the public is usually not granted permission to access.
Look her up if you don't know her already. She's amazing.
Oh, plus..she did a shoot for i.d. magazine when Trent Reznor was promoting the Nine Inch Nails album The Fragile. So not only did Taryn put herself in the photo, but she managed to have a full on makeout session with Trent, and that's the photo they ran for the issue.
Needless to say, she is my hero.
