"in the neck of time� is a serie composed of portraits taken over 3 years. Hundred of men and women were asked to crane their necks, giving themselves nicely to the camera as they didn�t have to show their face... The portraits foregrounding �another faces� cleared from sexual genre, social category and esthetic values.
James Brewer says :"This is far from pure photography: it is a way of seeing human beings, and as with many oil paintings, the perception changes as the viewer moves to a new position."
