During production of Miranda July's Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005), I gave Miranda an oil painting I made in 1999 for use as a prop in the film. In this self-portrait I resemble Anthony Michael Hall's character in The Breakfast Club, and Molly Ringwald is looking at me, smiling. The painting was not included in the film, but I noticed in the digital art exhibition scene, a recreation of a piece I told Miranda about on a drive to the Headlands Center for the Arts. The piece was from a series of photographs called, Dream Lovers (2001). The photographs were made from written descriptions of people's faces, each person’s ideal partner, and an imaginary account of the perfect day they would spend together. All of the submissions were made anonymously as responses to an ad I had posted on Craigslist. I rendered the faces using a composite software called Faces, which was endorsed by the television show, America's Most Wanted.
Here is a still from the scene in Me and You and Everyone We Know including the re-interpretation of a piece from Dream Lovers.
