Untitled is one of Semmel’s self-described ‘shifting images.’ She gazes into a mirror, holding a camera. Her naked body is blurred in a way that suggests motion, vitality and temporality, reflecting her perception of ageing. As she has aged, she has continued to represent, observe and embrace her body with honesty and self-examination, right into her eighties.
