Makeup collages

For the make-up collages, I combine images from fashion, design and architecture with those from neuroscience. I work mainly manually with cutouts from print media, thin materials or various own stuff. Then I add decorative cosmetics such as powder, eye shadow or lipstick.  The process is spontaneous and traces of the materials are wanted.

Since it is not clear how long the make-up collages will last at all, I photograph the development and the result.

When you look at them for a longer time, I recommend holding makeup under the nose.
