The most recent photographic series from Susan Bozic, “The Dating Portfolio” is on display at the Joel Soroka Gallery in Aspen.
Susan Bozic, He’s so thoughtful, it wasn’t even my birthday, 2006.
Susan Bozic’s latest effort is a farcical examination into the perception of the perfect man. In these prints, the artist is seen living the high life with her idyllic other. The temptation is to laugh; however, the sardonic overtone cannot be ignored.
Susan Bozic, He let me pick the movie, 2005.
On some level Bozic may be living out a virtual fantasy but the plastic man and the rented life expose obligation in utopia. When the absolute becomes less than human it may be time for a reevaluation of personal criteria. A completely controlled existence forms a hollow shell without memories that graduate to experience. The lesson from the artist is learned with that initial instinct to laugh.
Susan Bozic, Finally, some time to ourselves, 2006.
