The Henry’s franchise show for 2010 begins at shoe level. In addition to all the sculpture, video, and wall-mounted photos in “I Myself Have Seen It,” about 1,000 3 by 5 snapshots are laid upon the baseboards. Remember the pre-digital era of double-set prints at the FotoMart? These are like Smith’s journal pages, her working sketches; and these casually captured images–worms, leaves, dead birds, street scenes, and much more–almost require you to get down on hands and knees to inspect them. The finished products are mostly at eye level, arranged in four themed galleries. It’s a huge amount of visual information to process (possibly too much), Smith’s biggest exhibit of photography ever (though she’s not considered a photographer). Rather, we see her delving into fairy tales, life cycles, sexual maturation, and the animal kingdom. Our bodies are inescapably a part of that natural world: gristle and decay, sinew and rot, birth and death. Walking upright isn’t so different from crawling. We’re all born from the same organic broth. But visitors should also remember to look up while making this mortal circuit. Perched high on the door jambs are small human-headed bronze birds that peer impassively down. If you dropped dead on the spot, Smith’s Sirens would immediately swoop down to peck your eyes out. As is natural. As they should. BRIAN MILLER
