Structured as a visual dossier rather than a traditional art monograph, the publication serves as an investigative look into how hairstyles operate as social markers, counterculture symbols, and direct expressions of the self. The narrative utilizes a series of graphic mock-ups, styled profiles, and identified portrait codes (such as F509, F510, and F511) to mimic the clinical nature of identification documents while simultaneously subverting them.\n\nThe ID Show stands out as an intriguing artifact of late-20th-century avant-garde publishing, perfectly capturing the era's fascination with pop culture, bodily modification, and institutional control. With its stark, minimalist layout and clever stamp motifs, this slim volume is a highly compelling find for collectors of alternative artist books, graphic design ephemera, and sociology-driven visual art catalogues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826070958299,"sku":"2026770000921-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3eddd52b-a7df-4686-90e2-1f2d2beb3177.png?v=1780312003","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000921-secondhand-the-id-show","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
