Performance Review

“Performance Review” is a photographic project comprised of thousands of fingerprints captured by high magnification digital surveillance equipment. While the distinctive patterns found in friction ridges of the human finger allow for the identification of an individual, in these images those singularities are subsumed to create an ambiguous image, representing the generalized use of biometry itself. Named after 15 banks, the c-prints in this series are unique, each consisting of fingerprints from 750 different people.

Banks available: HSBC, UBS, Deutsche Bank, BNP, Barclays, JPMorgan Chase, Santander, Citibank, BBVA, RBS, Bank of America, Royal Bank of Canada, TD Bank, IC Bank of China, Itaú Unibanco.
