content: Digital pigment print of an untitled photograph by Seren Kohen of a wall inside a barbershop in New York City. The photograph shows a wall almost completely covered in photographs, newspaper and magazine clippings, signs, drawings, and other objects. Most of the wall is covered in photographs of men, perhaps to suggest hair styles to customers. One section of the wall is labeled "HAIR COLLECTION / STYLES BY TOMMY [obscured]" and features a collection of similarly-sized photographs of men, highlighting their hair. Many of the photographs show contemporary celebrities, including Matt Lauer, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and others. Other photographs include actresses and models as well as families and individuals that seem to have little to do with the business of the barbershop. A drawing near the middle of the frame shows a soccer referee with a microphone and a large "smiley face" head covered in thin curly hair. A countertop in the foreground is covered with towels, scissors, and other shaving and haircutting tools, as well as a stack of magazines and a small television with a VCR. Two men, possibly barbers, are reflected in mirrors on the wall, but they are almost difficult to see among the collection of images.
