What’s the purpose of getting a body?

What’s the purpose of getting a body?
In No Body? the artist Rindon Johnson considers VR, subjectivity and the query: 'What’s the purpose of getting a body if I theoretically could make or step into so many?' This week marks five years because the launch of Dazed Beauty! Over the following five days we will probably be celebrating this anniversary by bringing you big celebrity interviews, cultural deep dives into the extraordinary trends of today, and going back through the archives to resurface a few of our favourite pieces. To cite our co-founder Bunny Kinney in his original editor’s letter, Dazed Beauty is: “an area for us to document, deconstruct and experiment with beauty in all its forms, in every dimension,...

Toward the tip of my teens, it began to dawn on me that my face was probably fully formed. That no radical change was forthcoming. That even back once I still held out hope, my features were meanwhile settling, treacherous, right into a mediocrity which surprised, humiliated, crushed me. In other words, I used to be not going to be any great beauty. I used to be only going to be what I used to be: attractive occasionally, like most individuals, relative to whoever happened to face nearby. I used to be horrified; I couldn’t recover from it. Being average-looking is, by definition, completely normal. Why hadn’t anyone...
