Marcus Pinto
Marcus Pinto is an artist in New York City, and
a BFA graduate of Hunter College. His recent work
in photography centers on reflections of people
in relation to body image. The technique of the
work is influenced by André Kertész's
1933 photography which depicted funhouse mirror
reflections of the female nude.
Pinto's photographs adopt a similar technique,
using himself and others as subjects of dysmorphic
portraiture. The reflections achieve autonomy,
creating images beyond the conventional control
of the photographer and the model. The model is
no longer aware of the image he/she is projecting.
The photographer's reaction is recorded on film
(not digitally manipulated). The viewer is forced
to confront the image and accept it as an unchangeable
reality.
