In the Models I series, agency models are photographed in keeping with the same photographic protocol as in the two series that preceded it, Transsexuals and Black Women (2001). These portraits play on the aesthetic of identity photographs in a bland mode of presentation in which these young women chosen in keeping with stereotyped criteria of beauty evoke the idea of unlimited cloning. This series is a symmetrical pendant of the Transsexuals series. Artificial and natural women seem effectively to function as mirror images of each other, doggedly miming the same normality of an off-the-peg face elaborated by the marketing of bodies.
