Everyday Makeup
This performance dilates the experience of putting on makeup by applying a week’s worth in a single, public sitting. The piece condenses time and loops each morning together, in a seemingly endless cycle of putting on makeup—seven times one on top of the other. As the makeup gets caked on, its absurd claim on our time is revealed. Finally, all the makeup layers are stripped off tissue by tissue.
