I found Modotti’s work to have very great attention to details as well as a painterly quality to it. The way she framed and composed an image was very well thought out and maneuvered. Her photographs have a very personal and intimate feeling. Her still life were very reminiscent of Weston. It could be seen that she was greatly inspired by him. Her photographs almost created somewhat of an homage to him.
The short film that was playing in the back of the the space was also very interesting. The Tiger’s Coat was a film of a girl who does what she needs to survive and make it in life. In all of that she falls in love and deceives the people that come to care about her. In the end however love wins out and all is well. I enjoyed the story, as well as the fact that you had to sit down and read it. This made you stop and we able to really appreciate the show more.
