Winston Wächter Fine Art, New York is pleased to announce its second solo show with photographer, Margeaux Walter. Using a seamlessly manipulated combination of photographs, studio portraits (of herself in a multitude of disguises), as well as scale models, Walter recreates scenes of modern American life that highlight our technologically infused reality. As in her previous show, Crowded, Walter explores the ironic feelings of loneliness that can arise even when one is surrounded by people, a condition that she attributes to our society’s increasing dependence on technology.

In this new body of work, TMI, Walter leaves behind the public sphere and focuses on the family and our most intimate, domestic moments, as well as the ever present, intrusive force of technology in the form of Blackberries, iPads, iPods, etc. In Third Wheel, for example, a woman enjoys an intimate dinner with her partner, who is enjoying an intimate dinner with his Blackberry. Walter creates these scenes using photographic lenticulars, a printing process creating an image that shifts as the viewer moves back and forth. In her new series of work, she now employs 3-D effects to the lenticulars that further exaggerate the sense of fantasy in these ostensibly banal images of everyday domestic life. Her characters exist and interact in carefully crafted spaces that hover somewhere between fantasy and reality. Like the rooms of a dollhouse, the viewer is drawn into a surreal false world, and then promptly ignored by its inhabitants, much like they ignore one another.

Walter’s relationship to technology is a complicated one of which she is consciously aware. And though she clearly laments what she feels is the current state of human interactions, now so often achieved across a technological barrier, she nevertheless approaches her subject with a sharp, dark sense of humor.
