London & Savonlinna
Publication
Exhibition
The Uniform Paradox is a publication exploring the complex relationship between workers' uniforms, power, identity, and surveillance. Using Google Street View images and a selection of texts, this publication investigates how uniforms constrain and reinforce workers' position in society and how surveillance affects their behaviour and identity—on the streets and beyond. Combination of RISO and LaserJet printing.
The publication project grew into an exhibition showcased as part of the S Creatives 2023 festival in Savonlinna. The exhibition featured hand-painted and screen-printed signage, using détournement to transform striking messages into street graphics. Alongside this, I displayed human-sized screenshots of workers’ uniforms sourced from Google Street View, adding another layer to the exploration.
