Description
Hair by Scott Lowe A beautifully designed exploration of the hidden lives of ordinary things, Hair delves into the complex meanings behind this ubiquitous personal yet public object. From Hittites to hippies and Pentecostals to porn stars, hair is a charged and carefully managed dead thing that combs through our culture, revealing its significance anew with each passer-by. Scott Lowe's insightful analysis reveals just how little we control our hair, and the powerful role it plays in shaping our identities.
