Peggy Sirota’s debut book “Guess Who” is a tongue-in-cheek homage to the celebrity phenomenon that seems to be present everywhere. Sirota asked various celebrities, athletes, and musicians to lend their image for an AIDS charity. The reader will be teased, challenged, and surprised while looking at the photographs trying to figure out who’s who. For Guess Who 172 personalities play along and actually let go of their celebrity identity. It is a great visual feast with a witty sense of humour. Peggy Sirota’s photographs instinctively draw out her subject’s personality, therefore, revealing something essential about them. Some of the persons included are: The Dalai Lama, Ozzy Osbourne, Lionel Richie, Tom Hanks, Michael Douglas, Steven Spielberg, Nicole Kidman, Mel Gibson, MC Solaar, David Hockney, Billy Wilder, Andy Garcia, Isaac Hayes, etc. All names are displayed in anagrams.
