content: Digital pigment print of an untitled photograph by Seren Kohen of men having their hair cut at a barbershop in New York City. In the photograph, three men are seated in barber's chairs in front of a mirrored wall. Two of the men are wearing fitted plastic sheets to protect their clothes while barbers, standing behind them, shampoo and cut their hair. A third seated man is reading a newspaper in the farthest chair from the camera. All of the men in the photograph are Asian. Shelves around the barbershop are filled with hair care products. Except for a number of mirrors and a sole American flag reflected in one of the mirrors, the shop's walls are unadorned. Light panels spaced diagonally between ceiling panels creates a checkerboard effect in the shop's ceiling.
