Minor light scuffing along covers. Tightly bound, no marks. Volume is in Near Fine condition. © Paul Schiek Brodie gifted the mug shots to Schiek, who then edited the original cache of hundreds down to a select few, cropped the images to remove all official documentary references while leaving stains, staple marks, tears and other signs of age, and enlarged the prints on highly reflective chromogenic paper to imbue them with personal and cultural meaning beyond their original purpose. Paul Schiek is no stranger to the practice of appropriation; he studied under Larry Sultan – who collaborated with Mike Mandel to produce Evidence, a collection of found and recontextualized images. In his recent body of work, dead men don’t look like me, Schiek culls selected black and white photographs of young men from hundreds of 1950s mug shots discovered by his friend and fellow photographer Mike Brodie in a deserted Georgia prison. He removes any text or numbers suggestive of these mug shots’ previous function, enlarges the images to a greater than life-sized scale and prints them on highly glossy paper, all efforts to aestheticize these previously utilitarian records. By attempting to divorce these pictures from their traditional presentation – perceived as synonymous with criminality – the photographs negotiate a certain tension between the former and present lives of these portraits.While Schiek’s appropriation situates these pictures within a fine art frame of reference, incorporating them within art history’s long-standing interest in portraiture, from old master paintings to the photographs of Mike Disfarmer, Richard Avedon and Thomas Ruff, they fundamentally remain mug shots. By presenting these historically diminutive pictures at such a considerable scale, Schiek evokes the tradition of portrait painting, replacing the expected aristocrat or member of royalty with the quintessential symbol of human impotence. Through his metaphoric lens, these men are isolated from the masses and imbued with an uncharacteristic sense of individuality and character. At the same time, however, the faces and posturing of these men reveal traces of the apprehension characterizing the original moment in which their likeness was seized. Susan Sontag has suggested that “[i]n the normal rhetoric of the photographic portrait, facing the camera signifies solemnity, frankness, the disclosure of the subject’s essence.” Documenting a moment of presumed delinquency, mug shots forcibly register subjects in one of the most emotionally fraught moments imaginable; as opposed to the symbiotic relationship between photographer and subject Sontag’s description insinuates, mug shots lay bear the faces of men in an instance where freedom or captivity hangs in the balance.COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT, photographs books magazines added at a reduced rate We carry those that we ourselves like and believe in — that we think will excite, enchant, and endure.
