I wondered about this series because I thought it was another case of mainstream media talking about mixed-race issues in the most trite way possible, by reducing us to our faces, cast in a clinical, "specimen" lighting that is disturbingly similar to colonial imagery of indigenous people.<br /> I agree with lihsia that this series is very similar to Kip Fulbeck's, except it has an even more high-tech look to it, suggesting futurism and sci-fi, I suppose since mixed people are the future? <br />I think it just encourages people to scrutinise the faces like insects under glass, rather than engage with the real personalities and experiences of the people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963226935730337710.post-35362063259077546152015-07-31T17:40:18.263-07:002015-07-31T17:40:18.263-07:00You might like to compare these portraits with tho...You might like to compare these portraits with those by kip fullbeck in "Part Asian; 100% Hapa."lihsiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667732381320724046noreply@blogger.com
