In-dividuum is my Bachelor Thesis which explores how differently an individual can be perceived.

Depicting always the same face, I experimented using photography and digital manipulation to change the feeling the face expresses. I used transparent paper and layered the images, allowing a transition from one character to the next.

As a result a body of imagery evolved, which depicts the same face, but the perception of it is different each time - a contrast between being one and the same and being many different faces simultaneously. The title In-dividuum (Latin for “indivisible”) - plays with the topic on a linguistic level - is a person one entity or an accumulation of many different expressions?

Here are some excerpts of the final work and the documentation of the process.
