In Your Face

Facts, taken for granted, and the belief in images by the media society are called into question. In the same way that the audience members are spoken to on a physical level, physicality is a central theme to most of these projects. They speak to the desire to recognition and the perfection of the self, both of which entail existential risks or lead to physical interventions or even surgery; to examinations of sexual identity and self-presentation, the alienation and technologization of the body. The subjective perspectives of IYF depict the breaking points of these social developments and conflicts. In the space between the instantaneous snapshot and the manifesto, a unique imagistic narrative about social norms and subjective renditions of everyday reality emerges.
