All sequence head pieces by Shinryu kim
This headpiece is a sculpture created for a character in a vegan film, and symbolically embodies the face of a specific animal. Avoiding realism, the restrained form and texture reconstruct the animal as a symbol.
This piece, placed on the wearer's face, blurs the boundary between humans and animals, and breaks down the emotional distance for the viewer.
This goes beyond simple makeup or character expression, and functions as a device that allows the viewer to view the world from the 'eyes of the other.'
