This is the book Marie-Gon mentioned in the podcast: Exactitudes
Exactitudes: Inspired by their interest in the distinctive dress codes of various social groups, photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek have systematically documented numerous identities. They call these series 'Exactitudes,' a combination of 'exact' and 'attitudes.' By capturing their subjects in identical frames and poses, they offer an almost scientific overview of the human effort to distinguish themselves through group identities. This apparent contradiction between individuality and uniformity is a key driver in their impressive body of work. The diverse street scene of Rotterdam remains a significant source of inspiration, but they have also visited Beijing, Rio de Janeiro, Casablanca, London, and Paris.
