faking it

Fakes

“Celebrities are our new folk religion,” pronounced Alison Jackson as she signed copies of Confidential, her second monograph of fake paparazzi photos, for a long line of eager fans at the Philips de Pury & Company auction house’s temporary space in London’s Bloomsbury Square yesterday. Milling around the event were a roster of A-listers so stellar that anyone accidentally wandering in to the guest list-less party would probably think they’d found the secret portal to celebrity Mount Olympus. But Mick Jagger; Posh and Becks; Queen Elizabeth II; Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall (formerly Parker Bowles); and Amy Winehouse—all seen soaking up the champagne, posing for pictures, and socializing chummily with one another—were really the doubles Jackson shoots for her hilariously un-starlike images. Even if you knew that, it was still a thrill to move among them. As Jackson observed, “I don’t think we care anymore whether the celebrities are real.” Still, it was slightly startling, in the sense of seeing a waxwork move, to spot the real Mary-Kate Olsen there.
