The Face has always been one of our most favorite motifs. There are of course, the psychic photograph and the face on Mars; finding faces everywhere is our habit as soon as we're born. We tend to read personalities on faces and categorize them. Reading the faces in this issue is, however, challenging, since their social and contextual attributes are usually removed by the artists. So, these images invite multiple interpretations.
