"In her works over the past few years, Jemima Stehli (b. 1961, London) appears in the work herself, as subject or object, most often as both. In After Helmut Newtons Here They Come, 1999, [image 1, image 2] Stehli has recreated Helmut Newtons iconic image Sie Kommen, with herself as the stiletto-ed, naked Amazon striding towards the camera. Newtons original is so accurately and minutely reproduced, Stehlis hair and stance resemble almost exactly that of the original model, that on the surface Stehli is as objectified as Newtons original."
