Text engl. - Three women photographers explore the concept of self. Claude Cahun, Maya Deren, and Cindy Sherman were born in different countries, in different generations, yet they share a deeply theatrical obsession that shatters any notion of a unified sex. All three try out identities from different social class and geographic environments, extend their temporal range into the past and future, and transform themselves into heroes and villains, mythological creatures, and sex goddesses. Contributors to this odyssey through historical, theoretical, critical, and literary perspectives on the three artists include Lynn Gumpert, Lucy L. Lippard, Jonas Mekas and Shelley Rice.

Text engl. - „Six well-known photographic artists, known as The Legacy Project—aided by 400 artists, experts, and volunteers—transformed an abandoned southern California F-18 jet hangar, located at the Marine Corps Air Station El Toro (MCAS El Toro) in Orange County, into the largest camera ever made and then proceeded to make the world’s largest photograph, known as The Great Picture. The image is a panoramic view of a portion of the former Marine Corps Air Station, which is destined to become the heart of the Orange County Great Park. On July 12, 2006, The Legacy Project unveiled the world's largest photograph at a special reception held inside the world's largest camera. It has been exhibited only twice since then during a short viewing at Art Center College of Design, South Campus Wind Tunnel, Pasadena, California in 2007, and most recently this past winter at Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, China. However, for the first time, Sweeney Art Gallery/Culver Center’s presentation of The Great Picture will be accompanied by additional components that explore details behind its making and those who made it.“ - (Verlagstext). - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 08.2011.
