Hey, Hot Shot! Entries: Ofer Wolberger
Untitled (Maggie T.) by Ofer Wolberger
I have very little to say about the work of aspiring Hot Shot Philip-Lorca diCorcia and Larry Sultan, Wolberger’s practice was honed by spilling through his mother’s fashion magazines as a child and being an avid collager throughout his early years. Wolberger on his work:
Maggie T. can be considered a side note to a larger project called Imitation of Life. The title comes from a 1950’s Technicolor film by Douglas Sirk and the 1933 Fannie Hurst novel. I have been putting together photographs that don’t connect so obviously, letting the narrative strands relate loosely. For me photography is an imitation or an approximation of life as we live it. My photographs don’t necessarily correspond to reality. I think of them as being hyper-real.
More of Maggie T. can be found on Wolberger’s website, along with a good number of images worth your time. Keep it up!
The anticipation is eating––winners will be announced right here this Tuesday at 1PM. Until then, stay tuned for daily entry fun and more!
