Exactitudes
By andi maurer - Sonntag, Mai 02, 2010
Gudrun hat mal wieder eine tolle Webseite gefunden: Exactitudes. Idee ist lustig: Verschiedene Leute in ähnlichen Klammotten fotografieren und schauen, wie sie sich unterscheiden... Super gemacht, Lautsprecher aufdrehen :-)
They call their series Exactitudes: a contraction of exact and attitude. By registering their subjects in an identical framework, with similar poses and a strictly observed dress code, Versluis and Uyttenbroek provide an almost scientific, anthropological record of people’s attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity. The apparent contradiction between individuality and uniformity is, however, taken to such extremes in their arresting objective-looking photographic viewpoint and stylistic analysis that the artistic aspect clearly dominates the purely documentary element.
Danke Gudrun :-)
