The Most Liked / The Least Liked Faces on Display in Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina, 2020

Handmade, clothbound, jacketed, hardcover book of pigment prints, two volumes printed back to back.

On a visit to the two countries the artist photographed many faces that had been placed on public display, whether on advertisements, memorials, graffiti, or most surprisingly as public death notices posted on telephone poles (in Bosnia-Herzegovina). Many of those images were posted to Instagram, and the number of ‘likes’ tabulated. The most and least liked images were placed in (oops) almost ascending and descending order.  The faces paint a complex picture of how people in these countries view themselves, and how they are seen in turn by the outside world.
