Cornerhouse Projects: The Society of the Spectacles

Manchester School of Art's Robert Hamilton, Hilary Judd and Susan Platt present The Society of the Spectacles, a collaborative photography project looking into the design and meaning behind modern eyewear. As part of an on-going exploration into the way spectacles impose on our features, they consider how wearing glasses changes the way we look and are looked at, as well as the links between art and design, style and culture, architecture and physiognomy, seeing and not seeing, seeing and being seen, identity and eyedentity; between I and eye.
