Project
Description: Idealized coloured sculpture heads of stucco, porcelain, bronze and wood of the most famous, the most expensive, the wothiest and the most praised top-models are hanging on the wall as love tropheys. Their glass eyes have empty looks. The name of the respective top model is marked under each head.
Picturesque canvasses decorate the opposite wall and present pictures of their every day life with photorealistic vivacity: features of their faces, parts of their bodies.
The hall is silent: there is a soft carpet and the visitors’ steps sink into it as if in a blotting paper. Visitors can only hear what is on the earphones, handed to them at the entrance: a calm male voice provides information about their date/place of birth. Their hobbies and interests, their weight, height, breast, thigh and waist size. Qualifications: the pay they get per hour.
Dusk. The discreet light is falling over their heads, hanging on the wall, over the pictures against them and onto the empty, white, front wall: one can read the bold letters in red “Trophey Collection 1995-1996”
