One Hundred Hairs
Medium: Performance for Video
Duration: 59 seconds
One Hundred Hairs is a performance centered on the removal and digital restoration of eyebrow hair that had been grown for six months. The act of erasure is deliberate and intimate, foregrounding grooming as a form of gendered discipline and cultural regulation. Through digital intervention, the removed hair is replanted, disrupting the finality of loss and suggesting cycles of disappearance and return.
The regrowth and replanting function as an ode to inherited markers of identity, features shaped, managed, or erased in response to social and cultural pressures. Filmed in extreme proximity, the work collapses distance between performer and viewer, producing a charged, voyeuristic encounter that implicates the act of looking in the performance itself.
