Self Portrait of You + Me (Michael Jackson)
2007
The remnants of a burned photograph of Michael Jackson are mounted against mirrored glass, leaving only a ghostly, partially destroyed image of the iconic pop star. The mirror reflects the viewer back into the work, collapsing the distance between spectator and subject, between self and other. Gordon's piece meditates on fame, idolization, and the fragility of identity through the act of deliberate destruction.
