Places of intended beauty. Hairdressers are places in our
daily life, to be seen everywhere. In the evenings and nights they
are often illuminated to show the attraction of the location. These
are places of intended beauty; it is where we go to get a make-over,
to improve our appearance, what we are as seen by others.
Under these conditions the interior is a showroom and an important
parameter for the identification of the customers with the place.
Because of the artificial light and the emptiness of places made to
host people, during nighttime the hairdressers have an atmosphere of
loneliness and spookiness.
The images of this series ask questions about the understanding of
beauty, interpreted differently by different people, as made clear
by the differences in interior design, and at the same time seen with
different eyes through the absence of inhabitants and the unusual
artificial light.
