This idea stems from the DOVE campaign, which looks at how people view themselves. I like the idea of bringing normal, everyday people into my performance.

I have developed my initial idea, the new idea is to take pictures of people I find going about their general day-to-day lives and mix these with the magazine pull-outs I have of celebrities. This is to show how inhuman celebrities are made to be.

I have also thought about possible audience interaction. I will split the performance in half. For the first half I will have the audience creating their idea of perfect on my face and hair. The second half will have them creating the media’s idea of perfect. Each time a ‘face’ is created a picture will be taken and these will be added to the walls showing the differences between the media’s perception of perfect and the real perception of perfect.

For the second half, there will be another laptop which will have www.youtube.com on, so the audience can look at make-up tutorials to aid their creation. This will also show the audience how difficult it is to look like a celebrity.

To see how well they worked, I was able to test them first with the help of a friend. This is a Kim Kardashian look.

Here is the outcome.
