karen yama currently in two different shows.  one called "the cult of personality/portraits and mass culture" (top image) at the galleria erna hecey and the one at the museum of contemporary photography  called work/place.  (bottom one)

i am always drawn to photographs of photography ie:levine as they bring up questions specific to the use of photography in our culture.  These images are examples of methodology for curating and displaying one's own environment (home/work) and the ways in which people display their own snapshots.  Size of images, heirarchy, placement in space (cubicle), portraits of whom, age of portrait; all considerations people make when exhibiting their own photography.
