Brainstorming & research 7/11/16

After being set the project I have been thinking about interesting ways to represent 'Identity'.

Ideas & brain storming

  • Gender identity, trans, LGBT, gender fluid, drag queens, sex is biological gender is performance
  • Race, racism
  • Religion !!! traditional costume, rituals, 
  • Online identity, catfish, chat rooms, grooming, codes (DNA?) to create a face, faces on computer monitors- glitching out
  • Art installation- split screen of opposites 
  • Fake identity, fraud, double lives
  • How people see you, rather than how you see urself
  • How you put yourself out to people 
  • Sexism, equality, feminism
  • Cults, gangs, cultural backgrounds
  • 'finding yourself', teen/pre teen discoveries
  • Mosiac of pictures, things that define people
  • Stereotypes of women/men
  • Who am I???
  • National identity- country/cultural stereotypes
  • National insurance numbers- are we all just numbers, does the government determine our identity

Identity is the way we perceive and express ourselves. Factors and conditions that an individual is born with—such as ethnic heritage, sex, or one's body—often play a role in defining one's identity. However, many aspects of a person's identity change throughout his or her life.


  • Set of photographs, pictures of different people with different styles 
  • Blurring the lines between both genders, males wearing makeup, women with shaved heads etc
