About the Item

In SHE TELLS ALL, Kaur engages questions of identity performance by exploring an ever-present and wildly diverse American identity: the modern American witch. Witches are contemporary practitioners of the ancient tradition of paganism, which includes multiple and diverse religious and spiritual beliefs centered on nature worship and humans’ innate connection to magic. However, the aesthetic experience of the American witch is not neutral; it’s camp. The theatrical personae of many of the witches Kaur encounters denotes their status as citizens of this surreal city, where even mysticism is influenced by Hollywood. Kaur photographs these individuals in the context of their material world, where she finds commonplace identity markers such as crystal balls, burning incense and yes, neon signs denoting the mystic. There’s a playfulness there and a real performance of the hyper-stylized self. Yet Kaur’s photographs use these identity markers as a starting point to create a visual record of something more intriguing and ephemeral.
