Eniko Mihalik
2012 - Photography (Photography)
Jeff Burton
In Eniko Mihalik (2012), the camera captures a glimpse of the eponymous Hungarian model as seen through a rearview mirror. They are both two examples of the artist’s many enigmatic photographs of models, actors, musicians, and other powerful figures rooted in the celebrity-driven culture of Los Angeles. Catching a glimpse of the model, the viewer enters into the world of the celebrity. This photograph makes us question what are we are looking at (and why we are present in) this seemingly ordinary situation. Burton employs soft light to emphasize the woman’s ideal beauty while problematizing the situation that affords the viewer this peek into her life. Like much of Burton’s work, Eniko Mihalik reflects both his experience as a commercial photographer and his interest in the voyeurism, desire, vulnerability, and power of the photographic act.
