Artist Trap

https://www.instagram.com/?hl=en

The goal of this project was to put our artist into some kind of trap. Lorna Simpson, who was my chosen artist has a lot of work that talks about gender, racial and sexual equality. Her preferred medium is photography and she rarely ever shows the persons face in her photographs because she believes that being anonymous makes it easier for people to relate. For my artist trap I decided to make an Instagram of Paris Hilton along with captions that Lorna Simpson used in her photographs to show how much importance we give to things that truly don’t matter and how oblivious people are to the things they say as well as what is happening outside of themselves. I chose Instagram as a medium because it is the main application to post photographs on and that is one of Lorna Simpsons main mediums. This is a trap for Simpson because I believe that it would grab her attention and probably aggravate her.
