Signed copy of ID400 by Tomoko Sawada, published by Seigensha, 2004. In Sawada's words: "I made that series when I was at still at university. It was my graduation project and, in a sense, my public debut. I was thinking about the way one supposedly has an unchanging inner self and yet how easy it is to change one’s outer appearance. Then, one day, the idea for ‘ID400’ came to me out of the blue. I made the work using an automated photo booth which was in the parking lot. It was conveniently located beside the toilets. I transform myself in the washroom and then took my picture in the photo booth. In all, I took on four hundred different appearances."

$300, in-store only
