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.
