Michael Muller: Superfamous

Mar 04th, 2009


 

Nope. No way.  You can't get more true Hollywood than the characters that hang around the walk of fame, dressed as superheroes, taking pictures with tourists for tips.  Michael Muller's collections of photographs capture the duality of this Hollywood existence - the grit and decay illuminated in childlike, playful, hyper-Technicolor.  They are childhood fantasies - Batman, Stormtroopers, Spidey and Superman, revealed in their everyday dreariness.  Superman's blue-black curls highlight the cracks and crevices in his face.  A Stormtrooper leans nonchalantly against a grafittied wall having a smoke.  Batman takes a break on a milk crate.  Elvis needs glasses.  The Cat in the Hat is passed out on the cool marble.  The pictures zoom in on the joy and heartbreak that is part of everyday life in Hollywood.
