Subject: [Leica] Mary Ellen Mark - Announcement of Exhibition
Opening Reception: Mary Ellen Mark: Twins and Falkland Road
Thursday, July 22, 5-7 pm
Museum of Contemporary Photography
Please join us for the opening reception in celebrating the work of Mary
Ellen Mark. This exhibition will present her recent project Twins and her
1978 series Falkland Road: Prostitutes of Bombay. During August of 2001 and
2002, Mark set up an elaborate portable studio tent on a volley ball court
during the annual Twins Day Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio and employed a
Polaroid 20 x 24 view camera to capture in extraordinary detail the minute
similarities and differences between sets of twins. In 1978 after ten years
of attempting to photograph in Falkland Road Mark began to slowly gain
acceptance and won the trust over a select group of women and made a
personal series that captures the daily life of these prostitutes.
