The Experts Project

On the topic of clothing and identity, another artist who has explored the subject is Lara Thoms in The Experts Project. This consists of interviewing random members of her community and basically getting them to tell her what topic they are most "expert" in. The art revolves around a kind of role- reversal where Lara Thoms goes over to these people's places, dresses up in their clothes and gets them to take a photograph of her in their home. It's kind of an insightful response to the idea of "walking in someone else's shoes".

                                   Shirley Robinson, an expert in decorative toilet roll holders.
