Second Skin
Baudrillard states that visible clothing, jewellery or make-up envelop the human body like a ‘second skin’. There is a freeing of an individual to establish identity through involvement in consumer cultures, so we could see ‘second skin’ as objects with embodied personal consciousness in an ultimate goal that one’s full realisation is lying in the endless construction of the social self.
If it becomes possible and open to construct ourselves, then it also becomes possible to reconstruct or construct diverse selves.
This project wants to ask with the ultimate goal of self-realisation in endless consumption, how do people maintain a sense of stability and continuity across time and space?
