I promise to control my thoughts, my words, and my actions.

Uniformity
text, foto 50x70cm. (2000)

Uniformity addresses the relationship between self-control and self-restriction. It consists of one photograph taken from the Girl Guides’ archives of my hometown and depicting a ceremony of initiation and the following text:
I promise to control my thoughts, my words, and my actions. This line is an extract from the Girl Guide law, which the girls promise to follow upon their initiation.
