The Face of the Century by Julian Germain. A series of chronologically sequenced portraits of 101 individuals, commencing with a 100 year old, ending with a newly born baby. The book, designed by Erik Kessels, is published with a silver reflective cover so the viewers face becomes integrated into the project “….As we look we search, compare ourselves…We become part of what we view. This sense of common purpose is intensified by the unremarkable faces set before us. Their ordinariness, and the wealth of revealing (comforting) detail that frames each face, begs us to make confident assertions about class, age, gender, fashion and personality. Item #12239
