Boy Hairdresser, 2001
by Jim Lambie (Scottish, b. 1964)
Mirror, wood, metal, paint & glass beads
“In Boy Hairdresser, Jim Lambie has carefully arranged more than 25 mirrors gathered from junk shops and trash cans in a configuration that produces a multiple self-portrait of both the artist and the viewer. Presenting myriad reflections not unlike those of a disco ball, Boy Hairdresser is at once nostalgic for the 70’s-a period in which glam, flash, and a preening narcissism ruled the dance floor-and self referential.”
Of course, I had to shoot myself in it!! LOL
