Secretos de Belleza | Beauty Secrets 

 

Secretos de Belleza, 2022. Es una serie de fotografías y un video-performance. Este trabajo es un comentario a los videos de Vogue Beauty Secrets en YouTube, utilizando el archivo de mi colección personal de objetos residuales de productos de higiene personal y productos de la cultura de la "belleza" que he coleccionado desde que emigré a los Estados Unidos.¿Qué se nos vende realmente? ¿Es cómo ser más bella y prolongar la vida y la juventud? ¿O es un deseo de verse mejor y parecer otra persona? ¿Cuáles son las promesas de nuestra sociedad contemporánea? ¿Cómo podemos pensar en un presente mejor y mirar hacia un futuro colectivo? Este trabajo se presentó por primera vez en la galería Finch Lane en Salt Lake City, durante mi exhibición individual “Mystic tongues and ears struggle with our structured brain”, (mayo-junio 2023).

       

Beauty Secrets, 2022. It is a series of photographs and a video performance. This work is a commentary on Vogue Beauty Secrets videos on YouTube, using the archive of my personal collection of residual objects from personal hygiene products and the "beauty" culture products that I have collected since immigrating to the United States. What are we really being sold? Is it about being more beautiful and prolonging life and youth? Or is it a desire to look better and appear as someone else? What are the promises of our contemporary society? How can we envision a better present and look towards a collective future? This work was first presented at Finch Lane Gallery in Salt Lake City during my solo exhibition "Mystic tongues and ears struggle with our structured brain" (May-June 2023).
