Do you know who this guy is? Yeah, I didn't think so. He's got a waterfall for a face, so I don't think you're going to readily find out unless you do mountains of research. In any sense, whoever this person is — or was — was once a very famous Hollywood celebrity. Now he is rendered obscure by the beautiful scenery in front of his face.
This is part of a project John Stezaker does that deals with film actors and film scenes that are — for lack of a better term — disrupted by some generic scene of nature. It is hard for me to guess the artist's intentions without some statement from him, but I believe it is a commentary on our celebrity-obsessed culture that seems desperate to grant attention upon certain individuals for seemingly arbitrary reasons. Frankly, I don't give a damn whose faces these actors actually are.
I'm sick and tired of all the hype.
