Sculptures For A Day By J.D Okhai Ojeikere (RIP). ‘Sculptures for a day’ is by Nigerian photographer J.D. Okhai Ojeikere (RIP). The photographer spent the Sixties and Seventies documenting the hairstyles of the women he encountered in his native Nigeria. He snapped over 1,000 photos of these complex coiffures, from subjects he found on the streets, in offices, and at wedding celebrations. From tightly wound cones, buns, and curls to even more architectural designs, Hairstyles, as Ojeikere’s series is called, showcases a great range of styles. Shot in black and white, the photos tread a fine line between portraiture and abstraction. To see more photos click on the source link!

Not all stories are meant to make sense. In a series of black and white photographs and illustrations, Guilherme Gerais (1987, Brazil) introduces us to an alternative view on an unknowable universe. “The series is presented as a map, a guide, a trail to a ritualistic journey,” Gerais explains, “but with an enigmatic starting point: a missing space, although preceding.”

The origin of the stars and planets remains such a large question to us, unfathomable yet unavoidable, that we find ourselves exploring it down both scientific and spiritual avenues. All answers seem inadequate, provoking only further lines of questioning. Capturing the wondrous mystery, systemic complexity and playful magic of the universe, Gerais takes us along on his intergalactic journey, however heavy it may be, with lightness.

Private Thoughts in Public Places: Japan | Jacob Burge

[wired]

Facial recognition software is everywhere. Facebook knows what you look like. Google can spot you in childhood snapshots. Walk into a casino, bank, or high-end retailer and there’s a good chance that a security camera can identify you. Jacob Burge illustrates the ubiquity of this technology in his series Face Off. He’d read about facial recognition software and surveillance and was inspired to explore the issue using candid street pictures. 

There is a certain irony to the project, of course. “I’m going out and photographing random people without their consent, then using it to comment on our surveillance society,” Burge says. “But I like the irony in that—I’m British.”
