Beloved Cambridge photographer Elsa Dorfman is
known for her large-format commissioned Polaroid portraits. The exhibition
“Elsa Dorfman: Me and My Camera” is the first to explore the theme of
autobiography in her work, seen through a selection of the 20x24 Polaroid
self-portraits that she’s made since 1980s, as well as her landmark 1974
black-and-white photobook Elsa’s Housebook: A Woman’s Photojournal. The
curators of the exhibition, Anne Havinga and James Leighton, discuss Dorfman’s
work within the history of photographic self-portraiture.
