"Ode to van Eyck's Self Portrait," 2012 series by e2 Elizabeth Kleinveld and Epaul Julien. Their photography project, In Empathy We Trust, a collaboration series of old master paintings re-envisioned. Their subjects role-play different depictions of race, age, and sexual orientation, they ask the viewers to question their own perceptions. They personify a playful and humorous wit, with the intention that viewers will see how visual stereotypes can lead to prejudice and discrimination.
