Just Looking

Here is an image from a Flickr set called The Maggie Project. Seems to be a series of images of a woman wearing a fairly creepy mask in a variety of situations. It’s quite interesting and I recommend taking a look.

Apparently these images were taken by Ofer Wolberger. The Flickr set includes an official statement that begins: “Photography has been a vehicle with which to examine notions of beauty and identity, conflicts of self perception and representation, and the role that visual culture plays in both. This exploration is expanded in (Life with) Maggie, by a fictional character who seems transported from another time and place, one presumably set in the past.” It continues in this unenlightening mumbo-jumbo vein for several paragraphs. I have no idea what any of it is supposed to mean.

However, again, the actual images are very compelling.
