How one artist used photography to come back to

Mari Katayama’s self-portraits often depict her within the centre of painstakingly arranged objects, either in intimate bedroom spaces or in vast and awe-inspiring landscapes. The objects vary in every bit; nonetheless, specific motifs constantly pop up, particularly, crabs, paying homage amongst other things to her star sign (cancer). You may even see handmade pillow-like objects in the form of limbs and mannequins. But no matter where she is, or what she surrounds herself with, the principal subject of her work is her, most notably her body. Well, that’s how you might be made to feel anyway, but Mari explains her work is all about experiences. “It just isn't in regards to the body itself, but more in regards to the gap...

How this artist is difficult conservatism in Brazilian political

Brazilian artist and performer Aun Helden desires to tear down the constructs and constrictions around our bodies and begin again. Their work moves towards an understanding of gender and sex that’s free from cis-heteronormative patriarchal definitions. Un-gendering and un-sexing themself of their online artwork, they're rebuilding themself fluidly with seeming full creative autonomy over their appearance. Inspired partly by their mother, and in lieu of a father figure, they've repoistioned themselves as a maternal figure presiding over their very own body. Fertile imagery abounds of their work; glossy black eggs, vulvic prosthetics, phallic facial appendages à la H.R. Geiger, and large, galactic, empty black eyes. With the rise of the far-right and the election of president Bolsonaro in Brazil, the climate in Brazil for...

SFX artist Mab’s work is a comment on women’s

The Dazed Beauty Community is our ever-expanding encyclopaedia of creatives and emerging talent from internationally who're redefining the way in which we take into consideration beauty. From supermodels to digital artists to make-up prodigies transforming themselves of their bedrooms, these are the wonder influencers of tomorrow who embody all the things Dazed Beauty is about. Discover them here. Most of SFX airbrush artist Mab’s work involves in-your-face hypersexual depictions of ladies’s bodies. Butt cheeks become anime titties, Striplink-inspired lingerie, and skin-tight coochie cutters airbrushed onto naked skin are all common features in her portfolio. It’s work that's so over-exaggeratedly sexual that it becomes satire, a way of ridiculing how women’s bodies are so often depicted as sexual objects. “The overarching message...

Serpent eyes and alien cheekbones: artist Daglara’s trans-species aesthetic

Athens-based artist Daglara explores how performance can create a martyr narrative with extreme emotions, and how one can reach a degree of frenzy. Her make-up, her art’s protagonist, is a trans-speciesist dream. Inspired by facial expression from the animal kingdom, her beauty looks recall to mind sci-fi creatures and the hypersexualised femme icon. Serpentine eyes, a dolphin brow, and alien cheekbones — with Daglara, it’s all about hybridisation. Using a mix of seemingly disparate references, Daglara combines queer performativity with cutting-edge beauty and garment creation to boost problems with gender subversion. As Greece continues to be a rustic with an excellent deal of inherent prejudice, abiding to a system of heteronormative discrimination, her work comes as a very important force...
