All captions and the accompanying essay by Jeffry Deitch in English. Deitch's essay insightfully and provocatively reflects upon how plastic surgery affects the Human Condition. The human `new-view' anatomy and altered-reality: nose jobs, breast implants and liposuction. Think cultural icons like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Jane Fonda, or Mike Tyson. We are experiencing a new reality in terms of electronic space, and our ideas of appropriate and acceptable have not evolved as rapidly - these satirical and though-provoking visual images confront that new reality - the post-human reality as it was evolving during the 1980's and 1990's.
