"Though separated from what they produce, people nevertheless produce every detail of their world with ever-increasing power. They thus also find themselves increasingly separated from that world." - Guy Debord
Carrie Mae Weems investigated family relationships, cultural identity, sexism, class, and consequences of power. She developed complex body of art employing photographs, videos, and audio. From 1987-1988 she did a photographic project named Ain't Jokin' and I decided to imitate that. This series of photographs are of established portraits. Each photograph has a humorous caption about black culture. The woman above is holding a piece of chicken, and why? We do not know, but her sweater and straight look makes the viewer wonder.
