This is firstly a mesmerising and chilling series of photographs of a girl with only one expression, but is also bizarre evidence about the role of photography in identity. The consistency of her expression is truly startling, as is the position that she takes in relation to the camera. She frames herself related to the camera, knowingly of course, but at the same time unthinkingly as her expression is governed only by the presence of the camera and not by anything else that is present (her friends, her state of mind and so on).
