Artist: Soomi Park
Work: Digital Veil & LED Eyelashes (a digitally documented performance) ()
Project Execution Date and Location: July 2007, Seoul, Korea
Sunglasses, visors, false lashes, SARS masks…What is the link between glamour and the obscured faces to which it is so often attributed? What are the aesthetic parameters of this phenomenon and are there unexplored technological modes of this virtual facial augmentation? These are among the interrogations triggered by Soomi Park’s Digital Vail and LED Eyelashes. Park risks rendering her models grotesque in order to test the limitations of extreme glamour: beauty remains firmly in the critical eye of the beholder.
