Thomas Dozol's Entre Temps at Envoy Enterprises

Thomas Dozol's series Entre Temps, just finishing a run at Envoy Enterprises, depicts people moments after they emerge from the shower, in the liminal state between private washing and public display. A handful --- the most talked-about handful, naturally --- depict his celebrifriends, but those are actually the least compelling shots. (When you see Gwenyth Paltrow drying off, you don't think, "Here's a person in a moment of complete un-self-consciousness"; you think, "Gwenyth Paltrow and I have the same towels.") It's Dozol's unknown subjects, like Jamie, above, caught in moments of repose, contemplation, or simple ablution, who are the most vulnerable, the most human, the most like you when you're all alone.
