The Eyes Are The First To Go

This video is a personal exploration into culture’s notions of youth and beauty, and how it affects me as a newly middle aged woman. The pressure to maintain my youthful appearance drives me out into the streets to ask for donations for a face-lift.

Juxtaposed with the humorous black and white spy cam footage on the street are color narratives and commentary from me. The viewer hears me dealing with my issues of desirability and mortality as I grapple with whether to succumb to the plastic surgery knife.
