What’s in a glance? What can we learn, what can we know by simply looking at another person? It’s a strange but important question given that we are a nation obsessed with faces.
Millions in this country worship daily at the altar of celebrity: while Americans shelled out more than $10 billion on cosmetic surgery and other procedures in 2009. On a less sensational basis, we also collectively believe that we an know a lot about s person’s character, thoughts and/or intentions by studying their faces. For generations we’ve been told that our eyes are windows to the soul; while others profess an unshakable belief in love at first sight.
What is in a glance? An exhibit featuring large scale black and white portraits by three local photographers along with a set of answers to 10 questions posted with each portrait will be displayed at Kennedy Heights Arts Center as part of FotoFocus Cincinnati.
