In the society image seems to be the first impression in people’s mind. They judge people by their faces and not even give it a thought. People have become obsessed with looks and the vanity of beauty. I propose to do a project that is based on the theme of the face, beauty, and plastic surgery.
I will find images of beautiful people crop them to all have similar face structures and then divide the face evenly to 9 squares that are all the same size. I will cut out images to fold them to be able to build into cubes. The cubes can be placed together to build “faces” that are a mix of all types of faces and parts of the face. All the same features would be grouped into the same cube. The cube will allow people to make three eyed people or some people that are strange looking if they wanted to make something unnatural. It is a piece that is very narrative and interactive. The people looking at the piece can pick up the cube and turn it around and place it anywhere and with any other cube. The piece is like a modified jigsaw puzzle meet with Rubik Cube.
The selection process is just from sugestions and google or flicker and I will cut out the squares.There would be some from magazines that are scanned. I will chose some magazines that are not only about fashion and beauty so I can have people that are not airbrushed and made to seem perfect. I will also but in faces of other things to add a variety like robots, and animals.
I wish to make people see that all the beautiful images of celebrities can be turned to not so perfectly beautiful people while having fun doing that.
