"Celebrities Reveal Their Public and Private Personas in Intimate Double-Portraits"



"While at the Toronto Film Festival, he asked 51 A-listers to share two sides of themselves in front of the camera. One demonstrates how they are in public while the other peers inward towards a side they might not show.

The settings for Walker’s diptych photographs were sparse. They “were given nothing but a bare table with a mark of tape,” which was the dividing line between their two selves. Once they crossed it, they could transform, and each had their own way of interpreting Walker’s request."


A little silly, but I found myself thinking about it repeatedly so I decided to pull it.


Maybe to do with the universality of public vs. private, maybe to do with the differences in the portraits of women and men
