Self-Inventions: The Photography of Suzy Lake
Border Crossings, Fall 2011, v. 30, no. 3, pp. 98-105
Daniel Baird assesses Suzy Lake's works, such as "On Stage", "Choreographed Puppets", and Reduced Breathing: Crying. He looks at her art as it addresses gender, the body, and constructions of identity. Baird's account provides not only a historical account of Lake's works from the seventies to this article's release in 2011, but also a record of her life before she created these works.
