24 mag 2006 · Overview. Simmons, best-known for her photographs of miniature rooms populated by dolls and of oversized objects—such as a house, birthday cake, and pistol—balanced on female legs, both human and fake, brings these characters to life in a three-act mini-musical.
In three acts, a cast of puppets, ventriloquist dummies, inanimate objects perched on human legs, and Meryl Streep(!) enact a curiously poignant song-and-dance cycle of jealousy, regret, love, and longing that imbues Simmons’s uncanny materials of choice—captured by acclaimed cinematographer Ed Lachman—with raw human emotion.
The Music of Regret, 1994. In her photographic series The Music of Regret, 1994, Simmons examines the path not taken—a common theme in movies. Regret is a driving force in these works, but it is also a theme that permeates much of Simmons’s imagery, beginning with her earliest depictions of the Jane doll, who fails to find idyllic domesticity.
