content: Digital pigment print of an untitled photograph by Seren Kohen of a children's barbershop in New York City. The photograph shows an anterior corner of the barbershop, including two chairs for customers in front of hair-cutting stations and the street through the storefront windows. A boy is sitting in the right of the two chairs, which is made to look like a convertible car. A middle-aged man looks wearily at the child from his seat on the windowsill, next to a rounded-edge rectangular shelf covered with stuffed animals. A woman with curly hair is leaning over a baby stroller at the extreme right of the frame. Her face is out of the frame, but her hair is visible in the mirror on the opposite wall. The two barber's chairs, the second of which is a more conventional leather model, stand before barber's stations designed in a clean-lined, rounded-edged early-2000s style. Alongside hair cutting implements, each station also features a flat-screen television monitor, DVD player, and Nintendo GameCube video game system. The room's floor is a multicolored checkerboard pattern, and the area underneath the left chair is littered with hair clippings.
