This series takes the actors 'head shot' portrait photograph used for film auditioning, a must have item for any aspiring Hollywood actor, and attempts to dig deep beyond the superficial glossy surface, extracting hidden depths and forms. In the vein of vintage ectoplasm photographs of the early 20th century, each 'Head Shot' is layered with excretions and shifting surfaces, drawing links to the role of the actor as an invocator of spirits and narrators of cultural myth in traditional societies.
