Self-Portaiture in the Mid-Century
Zillah Laney, Uncle Poot's next door neighbor, came home from the chicken factory every night and stood against the wallpaper and tried to disappear. After three years of doing this, Zillah was sure she could, in fact , blend into the patterned paper. In 1959, Zillah Laney purchased a Pentax camera with a time delay and started taking a photo every 30 minutes. By 1972 she had amassed 54,973 photographs of herself standing against her bedroom wall.
Pinky has retired from the zoo to work on his opera "The Zoo Keeper's Lament" and to embroider baby chicks and dirty words on pillowcases.
