Graduation Show Opening and the End of an Era

Saturday was the opening of our graduation show at Bornholms Kunstmuseum, and also our graduation party. It was a fantastic day, but also sad, because it meant parting from great friends.

My finished work, with the title Skulle du?/Would you? at the art museum. It consists of six blown glass cylinders decorated with mirrorizing, fake hair, fake eye lashes, pubic hair, paint, glass lips and glass breast implants.

My text about my work from our catalog:

My project is based on norms about appearance and ideals, and above all, the obsession about it in today’s society. What is beauty, and what is beautiful? How far are we willing to go in our pursuit for it? And is it really an improvement in the end?

Here’s a clip from TV 2 Bornholm, where I’m crying and being interviewed (although not at the same time).

A lot of people came to see the show, here’s one visitor asking about what kind of hair I’ve used in my installation.
