Portrait of S.A.M.
1993
Portrait of S.A.M. is a multi-part chromogenic print by Fred Wilson that examines themes of identity, representation, and institutional power. Comprised of eleven individual photographic panels, the work investigates how museums and cultural institutions frame and define the narratives of those they display or exclude. Wilson's practice, known for its incisive critique of museum conventions, uses the portrait format to question whose stories are told and how they are told within spaces of cultural authority.
