Liquid identity


These images that refer directly to passport photographs operate in a completely contradictory way. Rather than reveal the identity of the sitter they hide it.

The individual is lost as a unit and the image that remains represents a ''type of person".  A liquid identity that encompasses innumerable people with similar physical characteristics is created and allows the viewer to recognize familiar faces or identify with these images, while asked to consider the concept of his own uniqueness.
