Nigel Tomm
Nigel Tomm is an american photographer and artist. His work is often scientific and a study of human emotion and behaviour. This can be seen in a lot of his work, his pieces focus on the use of a human subject. He works in portraiture photography and all of his pieces are seen to be distorted due to the destrutction of the pieces. His images show crumpled up photographs, these could be in order to show a statement about stereotyping at the time in relation to body image and seld worth. The wau that the photographs are destroyed could be to show how many people self image today has in itself been destroyed aswell. However it could also be to show how he is destroying this image of perfection and what is deemed to perfection. This image is postmodernism as it takes something that we all would recognise and know, just a generic person and then changes how they look to have a new meaning. Postmodernism is a critiqie of modernism and its classical style which could link to how the destruction shown in his work is a critique of classical opinions.
