Extreme Makeover, a series by Alejandra Villasmil:

“This series deals with notions of beauty, archetypes and transfiguration. I transform the naturally beautiful women portrayed in the covers of vintage Chilean fashion magazines into unsettling fictional and mythological characters to depict –humorously- the monstrous, the exotic, and the sensually feminine.”

“With theatrical absurdity, Pugen explores relationships between real and staged performance, the natural and the artificial, and tensions of virtual identity, through altering and manipulating images. Working with video, film, and photography in the digital realm Pugen renders situations that examine our perceptions of how history, documentation, and simulation intersect.”
