Exactitudes: Documenting 16 Years Of Identity

Jun 27, 2012 10:52 AM

Exactitudes is a photographic series that documents the many identities and subcultures from the past 15 years. A contraction between "exact" and "attitude," the term Exactitude was generated byphotographer Ari Versluis and profiler, Ellie Uyttenbroek.

The photographs place the subjects in a frame of 12 boxes, each holding the same stance and adhering to a similar dress code. The results were immediate, finding a cultural anthropological record of people assimilating to different identities and subcultures.

The project revealed a series of apparent contradictions, comparing things like a studio setting to street style and more importantly, individuality and conformity. This 15 year-long project is an extensive commentary that questions cultural origins and the forever debated definition of what it means to be "unique."
