Scientific projections posit that populations may naturally converge on a medium olive-brown skin tone due to increasing globalization, migration, and intermixing of different ethnicities. This potential blending of genetic traits could weaken racism and xenophobia. Unfortunately, estimates suggest that the earliest possibility for this homogenization would be the year 3000. This projection emphasizes the pressing need for societal change now, rather than relying on distant biological evolution to overcome the systemic inequalities and prejudices rooted in physical distinctions.
The accompanying book offers a hands-on exploration of the themes of fragmentation, conformity, and the dissolution of personal distinction. By slicing each page into four horizontal sections, the viewer is given the power to manipulate the images. Yet, even when the sections are correctly aligned in their natural state of binding, the resulting image does not depict a single, cohesive individual, but rather a composite that remains anonymous and faceless.
