James Prior
James Pierre and Pom Pom
May 21–June 19, 2004

Two-person exhibition with Richard Smolinski.

James Pierre and Pom Pom is a narrative photographic series that follows the monotonous life of James Pierre, a lonely middle-aged male living an awkward life in the feminine spaces of his deceased mother’s home. Really a series of staged self-portraits, Prior’s work melds performance and gender issues in a comical and pathetic comment on loneliness and masculinity.
