Exactitudes










Here are three images from photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek's project Exactitudes, which documents the way social cohesion functions even as we try to establish indivudual identities. The artists photograph real people wearing their own clothes, and have photographed in cities all over the world. For me this was a convenient way to visualize montage--taken alone, the photos are indivual cells, but together they state something greater about society. The work is also an interesting ethnography in it's own right, seemingly continuing the project of August Sander to chronicle all sectors of society.
