Make Up
Single-channel video with no audio

MakeUp is a 10-minute, single channel video that was shot with the camera behind a two-way mirror.
Every morning each of us looks into the mirror and makes choices about our appearance. What do these
choices mean? And what do they convey to others? MakeUp is about nature and artifice, image and self-image,
perception and preconception. Inevitably, personal feelings about cosmetics and self-image color our
individual impressions and interpretations of the piece.
