In my search for photographers who worked with families, I came across Suzanne Heintz's series Life Once Removed, which was a surprisingly funny chronicle of Heintz posing with her American Dream family in common tourist locations. "You can't just go out and buy a family. Or can you? I did." Although Heintz arguably goes overboard with the video and paragraphs of explanations, the concept of her work is something I'm attracted to. The irony of her "American ideal" making her stick out like a sore thumb makes the performative aspect of the series stand out. The images are also pretty amusing.
