Alison Jackson

Marilyn’s Back

A gelatin silver print by Alison Jackson, *Marilyn's Back* captures the artist's signature blend of illusion and celebrity culture through a striking black-and-white photographic image. Jackson's work is known for its uncanny use of lookalikes to reimagine iconic figures in provocative and voyeuristic scenarios. The monochromatic tones of the gelatin silver process lend the image a timeless, cinematic quality that reinforces the mythology surrounding its subject.
