Zahl 30 als Symbol für das Namensjubiläum der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar

faces, books and John Hancocks

Photo exhibition | 2013
Funded by the Kreativfonds

This exhibition highlights our inherent tendency to categorise on the basis of photos depicting faces, books shelves and samples of handwriting from various individuals.

Which of these people own which book shelf and what type of handwriting do they have? The interactive exhibition »Faces, Books and John Hancocks« reveals how frequently we misjudge people despite how well we think we know human nature. Combining the three elements, the viewer discovers that it’s not always a good idea to rely on single impressions – because each picture only conveys a small part of one’s whole personality.
