During Open Studio Day, the artist Eva Vei Eva Vei will present a work in progress from the photobook she has been developing during her guest residency at Atelierhaus Mengerzeile. Drawing on the procedures used by natural history museums to process new specimens (from identification to archiving) the series examines the act of classification itself. Here, the human being becomes the new specimen: observed, measured, and categorized within systems that seek to define life while simultaneously withholding recognition. Focusing on the anonymous and unidentified, the images explore the methods, tools, and mechanisms through which personhood is classified.
