Things that perform: final and in public.
I really enjoyed making this project and performing with it. I got many strange looks from various strangers.
My receipt veil acts as a comment on capitalism. We wear our products and brands like an identity. There is a lot of sigma and social criticism on whether you have money and if you own high end name brands. Who you are is no longer something that has prevalence. Capitalistic advertisement is made so that you feel so insecure with your body and face that you are willing to buy their "enhancing" and image altering products. This systemization of low self esteem affects some people to the point of costemic surgery. Our natural appearance, originality, and identity has been lost to mass produced packaged and approved looks. This veil covers the face of the wearer with receipts, the trail of our purchases, to parallel these capitalist tendencies.
