Facies
Facies
Exhibition I curated around the idea of the face as non-human.
Exhibition text: Facies. As in facies Hippocratica (the appearance of the face shortly before death). It faces the selfie. It is a vomiting emoji or a grinning turd. It is the animated 3D mask of identity that can open a phone or get you arrested. For Kylie Jenner it is a shop window. It is primordial but also a construction site. It has holes through which things go in and out; food, light, mucus, gas. It is fused with the person and the mask, the personae and the prosopon (πρόσωπον). It is not a portrait or a likeness. It is alien.

Abstract
Exhibition I curated around the idea of the face as non-human.
Exhibition text: Facies. As in facies Hippocratica (the appearance of the face shortly before death). It faces the selfie. It is a vomiting emoji or a grinning turd. It is the animated 3D mask of identity that can open a phone or get you arrested. For Kylie Jenner it is a shop window. It is primordial but also a construction site. It has holes through which things go in and out; food, light, mucus, gas. It is fused with the person and the mask, the personae and the prosopon (πρόσωπον). It is not a portrait or a likeness. It is alien.
