This Kind of Face captures impersonators who spend much of their daily life as costumed celebrity look-alikes. As we look closely at the subjects of these photographs we see people who are not quite living out fantasies of being the rich and famous. Rather, they are look-alikes in the business of being a doppelganger, providing a tangible vessel for the audience’s already media-saturated imagination. Like her subjects, who fashion themselves after specific glamorized Hollywood and media constructions, Kaur found herself over the course of the project impersonating the production of celebrity photographers such as Richard Avedon and Bruce Weber. She imitated Hollywood industry headshots and US Weekly paparazzo pictures, and created her own 4x5 photographic versions of Warhol’s Marilyns and dictators. Together the pictures in "This Kind of Face" function as playful hybridic references to the multiplicity of possibilities existing within the expans ive field of photographic portraiture.
