In a 2023 video made in connection with Diane Arbus: Constellation at LUMA, Arles, Neil Selkirk and Christie’s Darius Himes present What Diane Arbus Wasn’t Doing, a two-night conversation that dispels many of the myths about Arbus’s work. Recorded during Rencontres d’Arles, the talk debunks misunderstandings about Arbus’s work, from clarifying her lack of political agenda to examining the differences between her portraits of strangers and the broad genre of street photography. Selkirk and Himes consider Arbus’s approach to the technical aspects of photography, describing how her sometimes deceptively artless use of materials was in fact a carefully calibrated strategy to convey the authenticity of the interactions she captured.
