DAVID LEVINTHAL
· Skilled
photographer, David Levinthal, uses objects such as shoeboxes, cardboard, and
foam to create miniature scenarios that depict the presence of secrecy and
intimacy of small spaces. For example, his depiction of shadowy and dark scenes
are focused in exploring different emotions in each scenes represented. Scenes
represented have consisted of miniature offices, hotel rooms, pool halls, and
narrow corridors.
· “American Beauties,” is a series that
entices the imagination. His female figurines are dressed in scandalous
silhouettes and positioned on a mound of sand. The dolls are meant to portray
child’s play and how a child may have mimicked their mother in a playful way. However,
as adults imagine a more erotic scenario. Critic Paulina Ochi, states, “Their
poses are taunting, tempting, but at the same time innocent and meditative, as
if the women are unafraid to
confront the daunting black frontier.”
