BLONDES
“Dumb blond!”
Like others judge women based on their looks alone, I slip into the skin of famous men whose talent is proportional to blondness. Only their hair and physical appearance matter to me. I make their clothes out of recycled paper, curl their hair, imitate the posture, exaggerate their features, change their sex. I give them life in a funny, Halloween-like role-play, all on paper.
Born 1971 in Paris, France.
Lives and works in Paris.
