Description
Daily Self-portraits 1972-1973 by Melissa Shook is a collection of 192 black and white photographs taken over a year in her Lower East Side apartment. In these intimate portraits, the artist captures herself in various poses, often with family and friends, revealing the mundanity of everyday life. The images are imbued with irreverence and parody, challenging traditional notions of female portraiture. The book is accompanied by an essay by Sally Stein, which contextualizes Shook's work as a deliberate rejection of the idea of a single, revelatory moment, instead embracing the complexity and contradictions of serial portraiture.
