Exactitudes is a long-term photo project by photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek. Since 2004 they have systematically documented social groups and their appearance. Inspired by a shared interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, they have systematically documented numerous identities over the last 16 years. Each of their series is strictly structured and shows twelve similar persons, visually reminding of the works of Bernd and Hilla Becher. Some of the groups belong to subcultures, others don’t, yet they all share a characteristical dress code and usually the same poses.

Their works have been published in numerous magazines and they have exhibited widely in international galleries and museums. ❚
