An original take on some favorite nursery rhymes - this is one search for a new house that''s bound to be more pleasure than trouble. There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she didn''t know what to do. She gave them some broth without any bread, Then took them to live in a new home instead. Too messy, too woolly, too noisy, too small. Whether it''s Humpty Dumpty''s wall or Mother Hubbard''s cupboard, the old woman (who once lived in a shoe) and her children (who once lived there, too) just can''t seem to find a new home big enough for their growing needs. So where will they turn for a cozy night''s rest? The perfect place is only a step away -- no moving van required!

Alison Jackson presents a humorous folio of photographs to reveal all about the royal wedding between Kate and Wills, the most anticipated nuptials to come out of Britain since Charles and Diana, providing a glimpse into all the events we have imagined but never thought we would see.

Alison Jackson a photographié la reine d''Angleterre au petit coin, George Bush et Tony Blair taillant une bavette dans un sauna, Mick Jagger faisant sa gym et Monica Lewinsky allumant le cigare de Bill Clinton. Mais... est-ce vraiment eux ? La ressemblance est troublante, toutefois ses sujets sont des sosies. Ses images démontrent que s''il faut le voir pour le croire, la vérité est ailleurs. Dans son travail, explique-t-elle, " la ressemblance devient réalité et le fantasme empiète sur le possible. L''incrédulité du spectateur est suspendue. J''essaie de souligner le lien psychologique entre ce que nous voyons et ce que nous imaginons. Il est indissociable de notre besoin de regarder (notre voyeurisme) et de notre besoin de croire. " Ainsi, en montrant des célébrités prétendument prises à leur insu, les photos de Jackson nous montrent ce que nous imaginons se passer en coulisses. Si son œuvre suscite la controverse, c''est notamment parce qu''elle s''aventure dans cette zone d''ombre entre la parodie et le réalisme en faisant tomber les remparts soigneusement protégés de l''intimité des personnages publics.

Hardly anyone knew Diana. Yet on her death the world mourned. They did not mourn the woman but her photographic image. We all think we know David Beckham; thousands of fans have seen him in the flesh on the pitch, but millions of us know him only through his image. The same goes for all celebrities, whether it''s Madonna, Prince William or Tony Blair. The result is that the photograph becomes more real than the actual person or event. In my work I use celebrity lookalikes to create images which pose fundamental questions about where the truth ends and the the lies begin. The line between what is real and what is fantasy has never been more blurred. My photographs seek to explore the gap between the two and, if only for a second, bring it sharply into focus.
