Merry Alpern: Shopping

Rating:
Summary: More for voyuers not photography lovers!
Review: I don't know about this book. I mean how much talent was involved in walking around a store with a hidden camera. There are perverts who do the same that get arrested and called sickos for it. Not worth your time, unless you want to see innocent old women changing there clothes.

Summary: sneaky
Review: this is that rare thing, a truly original book that takes photography, film and art a little further and make us look at our - shopping and commodity based - lives from a different angle. The combination of still photography and video - all pictures were shot from freeze frames of a video film taken by a hidden camera - and virtually everything about this book makes you rethink the ways you absorb reality and its media fabricated reproduction. A bold, original work of Pop Art to hold its own with Warhol, Ruscha, Sherman and the best of them.
