This monograph examines the seminal 1989 series by Laurie Simmons, in which the artist utilized ventriloquist dummies to explore the performative nature of human interaction. Through these staged, uncanny tableaus, Simmons interrogates the construction of gender roles and the psychological weight of domestic spaces. The volume provides a critical look at her transition from miniature doll photography to life-sized figures, highlighting her enduring influence on conceptual portraiture.
