What is the face of London, New York, Paris? What does a Londoner, a New Yorker, a Parisian look like? The Face of Tomorrow is a concept for a series of photographs that addresses the effects of globalization on identity. The large metropolises of the world are magnets for migrants from all parts of the planet resulting in new mixtures of peoples. What might a typical inhabitant of this new metropolis look like in one or two hundred years if they were to become more integrated?
The Face of Tomorrow attempts to find this face by taking photographs of the current inhabitants and compositing their faces to create a typical face. What we get is a new person – a mix of all the people in that city. A face that doesn’t exist right now, but a face, it seems, of someone quite real — the Face of Tomorrow.
