Identity kits

a pictorial survey of visual signals

Edición de la obra Identity kits

"Approach to the complex interaction between the outward identity of the most familiar objects of our environment and some of their underlying symbolic associations. Advertisements, body prints, clothings and cosmetics, food, games, money, marks and signs are not necessarily what they seem ... a remarkable variety of categories--or 'identity kits'--over 280 provocative illustrations expose the ambiguous nature of identity, jog the preconceptions of the mind and eye and hint at the layers of meaning that lie hidden in the visual flotsam of our everyday lives"--Dustjacket.
