Uniqueness is,,,individuality within similarity

concept

Jing's choice to take photos of easily identifiable posing groups seeks to highlight a specific aspect of the human being. People’s fear of getting lost in the crowd. Identifying oneself in a smaller group of human beings is our answer in the attempt to ease this malaise. This allows people to establish themselves with a certain function that is then identifiable at least within their group. Little does it matter that, at first, the resemblance between appearance and behaviour is remarkable. This is something that is easily noticeable in the photo series: it is within this almost total and complete similarity that even the slightest of differences are detected. They are played up by the individual so that their own identity is both maintained and vouched for.
