Fantastische fotografische und soziologische Feldstudie: Seit rund 14 Jahren fotografieren Ari Versluis und Ellie Uyttenbroek für ihr Projekt “Exactitudes” soziale Gruppen: “They call their series Exactitudes: a contraction of exact and attitude. By registering their subjects in an identical framework, with similar poses and a strictly observed dress code, Versluis and Uyttenbroek provide an almost scientific, anthropological record of people’s attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity. The apparent contradiction between individuality and uniformity is, however, taken to such extremes in their arresting objective-looking photographic viewpoint and stylistic analysis that the artistic aspect clearly dominates the purely documentary element.” Via
