Face Cages
Face Cages is a critical dystopic installation in which biometric facial diagrams are fabricated as metal objects that resemble torture devices. These “cages” are then used in endurance-driven performances to dramatize the irreconcilability of the standardized, neoliberal biometric diagram with the materiality of the human head.
