All kinds of identity interests me, like Richard Billingham's snapshot picture of his family, showing (as well as documenting his father) what sort of upbringing he had, a glimpse into his life and how he is identified within his family.
Also how a bit of makeup, change of clothing and research into a different social group can make a person fit in so well within that social group - like Nikki S Lee has done in her series of photographs.
Cindy Sherman changed her identity too, into different characters. Her images are more like a self-portrait as it is only her in the photograph at a studio, whereas Nikki S Lee shot hers on location with other people in the image.
Changing your identity would be interesting and exciting to see how differently people act around you and if they treat you differently.
