Demoncracy

The video piece Demoncracy confronts the dictatorial standards of beauty through the medium of found footage sourced from YouTube. Drawing upon the mesmerizing and at times disconcerting realms of eye color changing surgery and vaginal tightening surgery, the artwork exposes the distorted manifestations of societal expectations. By appropriating and recontextualizing these visual fragments, it invites viewers to question the oppressive ideals and societal pressures surrounding beauty, offering a poignant commentary on the consequences of conforming to such arbitrary norms. Through this video collage, we are compelled to reflect upon the complexities and illusions of beauty in our contemporary world.
