Two faces, a man’s and a woman’s, slowly morph into one another, creating
intermediary moments of fluidity between sex and appearance.  The faces
blend and change from moment to moment.

“My work reflects my interest in social structures and the construction of
identity.  I use tools like the Internet, photography and video to
consider how my environment—the world I live in—affects both me and the
people I am surrounded by.  The different media help me to analyze reality
in contrast to cultural and social projections.  In my photographs,
drawings and videos I focus on the digital manipulation.  The borderline
between reality and imagination is very important to me in order to
channel desired media productions.  My goal is to give shape to the
strategies of self definition, which result from these productions.” –
Elisabeth Smolarz
