Allison Jackson

Born May 15 1960.

She graduated with BA (Hons) in Fine Art Sculpture from the Chelsea College of Art as an adult student, and MA in Fine Art Photography from the Royal College of Art, London.

She became notorious in Britain in 1999 for producing black-and-white photographs including images that apparently showed Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed with a mixed-race love child; many[attribution needed] considered this offensive.[citation needed] The photos were part of her graduation series entitled Mental Images. She has gone on to produce similarly obscured photos and films of celebrity look-alikes in surprising, shocking or strange situations, portraying them, as she has described it, ‘depicting our suspicions’.[1]

She was the artist behind BBC Two’s series Doubletake, for which she won a BAFTA.[2]

She has recently depicted George W. Bush and Tony Blair lookalikes in a series of ‘behind the facade’ scenes, and has produced a film devoted to the latter which coincided with his exit from office entitled Blaired Vision, shown on Channel 4 on June 26, 2007. She has also launched a satirical news website, AJNews.co.uk, is developing

a new series for American television, and finishing a book for Taschen featuring 300 of her images.[1]
