Identification Denied 2008
Project description
Hair plays a crucial role in determining and maintaining identity constructs all over the world, be it religious, social or political.
In this piece, I have created an 'identity document' within the pages of an expired passport, examining the relationship between hair and identity. Often stereotypically, hair represents: femininity, homosexuality, marginalised peoples, prisoners etc. But what happens once the hair is detattched from the head? Removed from its social/poltical context? How can so much meaning so quickly dissipate?
