Veteran actor Leonard Nimoy’s latest collection of photographs, under the heading of Secret Selves has gone on show at the Sherman Gallery of Boston University within the School of Visual Arts campus.
The exhibition began on March 20th and is scheduled to run until May 9th. According to Nimoy, who was born in Boston, his exhibition has been inspired by Aristophanes, a Greek playwright of ancient times, who developed a theory that humans were once double-sided creatures with two heads and multiple limbs.
In his exhibition, Nimoy displays tremendous vision in creating images of models who posed and dressed to create an impression of “alternate identity.” Secret Selves is one of three exhibitions currently running in Boston, which display the 82 year old actor and photographer’s more than 60 years of work.
