With the eyes of the other. A Flash exhibit by Clarissa Borges, one of many photographers at zonezero (Previously 1 2 3 4 5).

Strange...the women all look normal and the men look like drag queens fresh from the burn unit.

I had the opposite impression; some of the later women look decidedly off.

One of the things that continually impresses me about modern photography as art is that, apparently, all you need to do anymore is push some sort of easily-done idea and have some sort of grand unifying theory behind it. The actual execution only takes an hour in photoshop.

Oh, and you have to have an annoying flash website.

Well, there are other artists on that site, some of whom don't use flash or Photoshop (at least not obviously). Maybe you'll like one of them.

That was very interesting! Thanks for the post, never heard of zonezero before.

What does it matter, as long as the results are interesting? I found these to be pretty interesting. (I didn't read the artist's statement, though, so I have no idea what sort of "grand unifying theory" the artist might have been working from. To be honest, I don't put much stock in them ((artist's statements)). The work should speak for itself.)
