Artist Yasumasa Morimura has an interesting take on the art of photography: he includes himself in all of his work, recreating famous photos. You can see a few examples in this Designboom post, and if you’re in New York, today’s your last chance to see an exhibition of his work, “Requiem for the XXth Century: Twilight of the Turbulent Gods,” at the Luhring Augustine Gallery.

UpdateMorimura has a show, “Twilight of the Turbulent Gods/A Requiem: Chapter 2,” that started yesterday at Shugoarts and runs until February 16.
