Hair and the intimate contact withhair accompany people from birth to death; it is always part of our verypersonal sensory world. In her most recent work,Hair,Herlinde Koelblsucceeds in creating an associative study of this essential identity trait. In awonderful, subjective photo essay she erases the superficiality of this physicalstatement: hair becomes a protective shield, a boundary of shame; it isenticement, seduction, or threat; or it becomes dead material mixed intosoapsuds. With her talent for precise observation of social processes alreadyseen in bestsellers 'Spuren der Macht' ,Das deutsche Wohnzimmer, and Jüdische Porträt is this new project, on which she spent over six years on four continents, sends us on a provocative, intimate tour of human emotions.
