| Olsen focuses her video camera on people being photographed. As anonymous
tourists get their pictures taken by others, Olsen ––unbeknownst to the subjects––observes the moment after the shudder-click when public smile fades into private reality. The result reveals both an uncanny gestural consistency and emotional poignancy. |
