DESCARTES’ HAIRDRESSER BETA VERSION

In Competition

Written and Directed by Gamze Hakverdi
Technical Designers Çağrı Çakın & Gökçer Erdem
Cast - Leyla Uslu
Video Installation /2012

In this video installation a woman with no hair maintains continuous eye contact with the user and the user is called to position digital hairpiece images to the woman’s head. This call is not much different than the verbal or non-verbal call of modern society to almost everyone - “Shape your body -- no matter what!” This installation is inspired by Leyla Uslu’s daily life experiences who lost her hair because of an illness rarely seen in young age. The installation reverses this call and aims direct experience of the user of this despotic position.
