REMAINS OF THE DAY

Installation, objects
2018-2020

The performative use of beauty products symbolizes patterns of behavior that result in the unique care of offering the body, a sacrifice to the divine conception of the beauty. Daily practice of ritual acts of beautification (smearing, combing, wiping, rubbing, sapping, rubbing, peeling) makes us almost religiously offer the cult of the appearance a kind of "sacrifice" in the form of remains and prints of our bodies. In this way, everyday household rubbish (make-up wipes, acetone tuffs, nail polish residue, brush hair, etc.) carries a certain romantic note of outlook on life and transience, and products that once served a "higher purpose" become witnesses and symbols of the transience of beauty and youth.
