About the exhibition I Am the Face

Drawn exclusively from the permanent collection of Ogden Museum of Southern Art, I Am the Face is a meditation on the history of portraiture within Southern Photography. Beginning with the early twentieth century to the present, I Am the Face highlights ever-changing ideas, trends, methods and technologies that define the photographic portrait. Picturing the human condition, the relationship between photographer and subject, and the inherent power of perception that the camera possesses are addressed throughout the exhibition.
