The images are reminiscent of the relationship between Cookie Mueller and Nan Goldin for which the latter published under Ballad of Sexual Dependency. Unfortunately Cookie had an overdose not long after.
These images express a very interesting take on personal performance and instant gratification with Polaroid film. The gestures are loose and full of life as opposed to being claustrophobically staged to the point of artifice.
“Cathy” seems to take pleasure out of the experience and its perhaps best not to read too much into these images, but they do entertain a somehow bizarre association with identity, performance, and the Polaroid instant camera.
