http://www.lisesarfati.com/Lise Sarfati's pictures feature most portraits of people doing nothing. Often times they are sitting in bed, smoking a cigarette, hang off porches. All with rather bored looks on their faces. Most of the time these people are adolescents, and an overarching theme in her work is that these adolescents are trying to find themselves, trying to be something they are not.
In the first image, Sloane #30, stands a girl who had recently had a drastic change in living situation. Her and her sister moved from Phoenix to Oakland, California. In the series of photos of the two of them, they are almost unrecognizable from picture to picture. Each dresses up in bright costumes. In this picture in particular they she has on a wig, and sunglasses that she has dressed herself in.
In the second image, Sloane #34, Sloane is seen looking completely different.
