Concept - For this strand my idea is the theme is individuality. I'm going to look at ways of altering the face to remove individuality from them but also keeping each photo unique through other ways. Anthony Aziz and Samuel Cucher are visual artists working together as a collaborative team since meeting in graduate school in 1990 at the San Francisco Art Institute. In their dystopia series they took a series of portraits and edited them to make it appear as though they have skin covering their eyes and mouths. The intention was to suggest an evolutionary change signifying the loss of individuality in the face of advancing technology and the progressive disappearance of face-to-face, direct interaction.
The work of these artists relate to my concept of individuality because these artists edit their photos to remove the details of the eyes and mouth. They say that the eyes are windows to the soul, so removing them seems to remove the identity of the people.
