Ten gelatin silver prints paired with typewritten text, part of the artist's ongoing Variable Piece series in which everyday people are photographed and cataloged according to a strict, imposed system. In this iteration, portraits made in West Germany are sequenced with explanatory captions that turn documentary photography into a deadpan exercise in classification, treating each face as a single data point within a larger social inventory.
