Irina Werning: Table of Hair (from the series Las Pelilargas), 2024
Irina Werning arranged her sitters’ hair across a table in Octavalo, #Ecuador, where #Kichwa men keep their hair unshorn as a symbolic link to their ancestors and an extension of the self. The central figure looks out at the viewer, perhaps in resistance to the history of forced haircutting during the Spanish Inquisition.
