video work

Object of Desire # 1
Duration: 5min 28sec

This video is documentation of the act of dying my hair, and the washing out of the colour. The piece is an example of the processes women undergo when aiming to achieve their image of beauty. The effects on the film of mirroring add a different feel to the subject and the images come across slightly grotesque, sexual and undefinable. My work deals with identity issues in contemporary society and the way I feel individuality has been lost to a culture controlled by the media.
