Label Text This is part of a series of works in which Laurel Nakadate approached strangers, many of whom are distant relations located via genetic research, to be photographed at night upon their first physical meeting with Nakadate. The works are a complex take on portraiture, a study of the diversity of both the people and landscape of America, and an exploration of the place of social media and science in our conceptual history of identity. Raised in Ames, Iowa, Nakadate's conceptual phtography projects have been exhibited and collected internationally. Source: News, Jan Feb Mar 2016
