I came across this photographer who is challenging and questioning the role of photography in presenting identity. Whereas it is often seen as an artistic gateway to showing everything about a person or at least one apsect of their identity, he is questioning this and enhancing it.
He also used himself and other artists to create the project "The truth is not in the mirror" and the artists themselves were involved in making the images and the narratives to accompany them in text form beneath.
It's an interesting and slightly different approach to identity and more suggestive that photography creates one rather than reveals one, or at the least, restricts a view of it. How we read identity and how we perceive it for ourselves and others isn't fixed it changes as much as time passes and these images explore that. I would like to look at it further but I thought it'd be interesting to compare to my own project which is why it's here.
