Faces

​

The focus of this series is entirely on the human face, expression, and communication. Human body language and facial expression are incredibly complex, and Oliver highlights that by severely limiting the information that is given. This is information that is expected in any natural face-to-face encounter, and its absence alters each personal interaction with the work. Viewers confront each subject directly, as the subjects stare out and make eye contact, but in their narrow state these expressions are largely ambiguous, leaving the interaction open ended, and personal.
