Flash Art International May-June 2006
Another project that I have found inspiring.
In Warsaw, Poland the artist Aneta Grzeszykowska is displaying a series of photographs that do not differ from the common portraits of people usually used for passports or other documents for identification. Interesting is the fact that viewers automatically try to determine the identity of the person in the picture on the basis of the subject's external appearance. At the end the viewer is advised that the persons in the photograph are non-existent. They are in fact Photoshop creations and the viewers become very disappointed. It is interesting how society reacts in different situations and how easily we invest our energy into a sense that everything around us is rational. The article is in the REVIEWS section by Adam Mazur.
