THE LOOK OF LANGUAGE                           home

Be part of the art -
Help realizing an art project.

This project is about the visibility of native languages. I collect photographs of human mouths - young and old - which might prove
my thesis about different reflexions in facial expressions according to different spoken languages - especially in the shape of mouths.

Therefore I need photos of many people in various countries. I need
 

 one baby-picture (age:max 1 year)
 one picture in grown-up age ( min. 20 years),


each of one and the same person, showing a frontal portrait, a frontal look at the mouth. Also profile versions (both) are welcome.
The mouth should be closed.
If you don‘t mind these pictures being published (anonymous!) in an exhibition or catalogue, please send me the photos (no copies! -
of course, you’ll get them back - adress see in "VITA"), or mail them via internet (as jpg or psd, min.150 dpi - bea.giersig@gmx.de).
Please note your native town and -language.

Thank you very much for your assistance in  realizing this project.
I‘ll be glad to inform you of any kind of publication,

Bea Giersig
