Makeover

1998, 11 min, color, sound

Hodel applies lipstick pigment to her naked body, suggesting cultural identities other than her own. She then rubs the pigment away and dresses herself with lipstick covered rags. Stephen Vitiello's compelling soundtrack intensifies the impression of ritualistic practices.

Performer/Camera: Ursula Hodel. Editor: Robert Beck, Electronic Arts Intermix, Maria Venuto, Mercer Media. Music: Stephen Vitiello.
