!!1973 — Fully Automated Nikon (Object/Objection/Objectivity) ---- |t |t |t |t ''— — First shown at the Harold Rivkin Gallery, Washington D.C., 1973''| |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t Laurie Anderson, en 1973, à 26 ans, est l’objet de commentaires plus ou moins obscènes d’hommes, jeunes et vieux, dans les rues de la Lower East Side (« Wanna fuck ? »). Aussitôt, systématiquement, elle s’arrête et les prend en photo : la situation est renversée, le chasseur devient chassé. On la craint, on la prend pour une policière en civil, elle demande l’autorisation de conserver la photo et d’en faire d’autres, les hommes s’excusent ou nient l’avoir insultée (comme si c’était de la ventriloquie, dit-elle). Elle dissimule leur identité avec une barre blanche sur le tirage définitif, et présente la série ''Fully Automated Nikon (Object / Objection / Objectivity)'' avec, pour chaque photo, un petit texte explicatif. L’appareil photo est une arme (comme pour Francis Alÿs) et un bouclier ; l’objet (sexuel, du désir) a soulevé une objection et la relation ainsi crée avec le ‘sujet’, si elle n’est pas nécessairement objective, ouvre en tout cas des voies de réflexion intéressantes.{br}{br}| |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t — — ''An artist leaves her studio. She is Laurie Anderson. In the course of a day in June 1973, she takes photographs of the ten men who accost her in the street with what she terms "unsolicited comments of the 'hey, baby' type." She asks permission first. Her accosters are mostly pleased and flattered to comply. She answers their pleasure with banter, smiles, and laughter ; does her compliance facilitate the easy, close-up portraits she is able to secure? Later in her studio, she responds to her accosters differently, as if now to undermine their ease; like an investigative reporter preparing an evidential dossier, and mindful of the law, she imposes anonymity on her informants: a wedge of white neatly cuts off their eyes. In this case the gesture seems less protective than offensive; in the name of privacy she inflicts blindness, even a kind of objecthood, on subjects who had started out by treating her that way.'' — {small}(Anne M.

Their voices narrating in the first person produced the effect of thoughts from the crowd.{br}{br}''Dark Dogs, American Dreams'' (1980) ^[is an installation^] room in which a dozen blurry but evocative photographs - a mailman, a waitress, a ''be-bop lyricist'' - are mounted on the wall and repeated in miniature on a console in the room's center. Punch the button next to the photo of the mailman, say, and you get his recorded ''dream,'' a deadpan recital of a nightmare filled with sly humor.'' {br}{br}---- {small}(Click to enlarge){/small}{br}[../files/articles/anderson/1980_darkdogs_300.jpg|../files/articles/anderson/1980_darkdogs.jpg]| {br}{br} {br}{br}
