Laurie Simmons is an artist, photographer, and filmmaker. Since the 1970s, Simmons has staged scenes with dolls, ventriloquist dummies, “walking objects,” and live models, creating photographs that resemble enigmatic domestic scenes. Her feature film My Art, which she wrote and starred in, premiered at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival. A retrospective of Laurie Simmon’s work titled Big Camera/Little Camera is on view at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth until January 27th. The exhibition then travels to The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, where it opens on February 23rd.
