Sarah Jones @ Maureen Paley

Hall of Mirrors, by Sarah Jones builds upon her distinct photographic language, which dissolves the hazy glare of day into the weight of a photographic night. Her subjects and objects are chosen as much for their illusionary surfaces as for their metaphysical and metaphorical potential.

The imagery in her latest work references Cocteau’s 1930 film Le Sang d’un Poète (The Blood of a Poet), the first film in his Orphic trilogy, in which the artist-protagonist enters a parallel dreamscape of hallucinogenic allegories hidden behind doors, screens and windows, or found in fluid mirrors.
