No One Cares More About the Way You Look Than We Do (Series)
DESCRIPTION
We are born into a body that can be changed. The malleability of aesthetics enables the human desire for a different form. In order to alter our appearance, we must embark into a new world, a domain that seems sterile but can become the most grotesque: the institution of beauty. This project exhibits transformers and the transformed within their facilitating spaces. The interiors and portraits equally serve to reveal the fleeting aspects of human physicality. Many of the photographs lack humanity; however, the human body is indisputably present. The spaces remind us that the practice of modification occurs behind closed doors - interiors devoted to exterior desire represent not only the confidentiality that develops within the space, but also the privacy that takes place within the mind. These rooms parallel the architecture of the human brain, and although the results are corporal, ideals of aesthetics are cerebral.
