Personas 111 by Tomihiro Kono Pdf

Exploring the possibility of wigs by portraying 111 transformations of Cameron Lee Phan in 111 handmade wigs made by Tomihiro Kono. Hairstyles are closely related to our identity; They create both our inner and outer self. This can reflect our personality or, in some way, can hide our true selves. We can suddenly make ourselves look like a different person by wearing a wig. A wig is a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual. Changing how we look is an act of self-reflection, self-assertion, and self-defense.?We live in the spirals of the world by defining ourselves and being defined by others.In Latin times a persona was a mask; today our digital masks have turned into persons that amplify our individual digital essence, letting our fake and intangible identities take over. Tomihiro Kono's wigs are a reaction to our digital society and a way to reclaim our physicality: with his creations the artist and designer invites us indeed to go over a physical, rather than digital, transformation. A wig by Tomihiro Kono is therefore a "mask-thrix" - a mask for the hair ("thrix" meaning "hair" in Greek), a symbol of an existential drama and the possibility of taking up not just one role, but multiple ones. By wearing a wig by Tomihiro Kono you can be anything and anyone but yourself. The promise is alluring. Enter the Mask-Thrix.

Wigs, Hair and Make-Up by Helen Casey Pdf

Written by the former Deputy Head of Make-Up and Wigs at the National Theatre, this book opens up a process that very few people will otherwise be privy to, giving perspectives on the preparation before a production and responsibilities during, as well as looking more widely at training, career opportunities and success. It does so through drawing upon some of the most adventurous and challenging productions mounted at the National Theatre and elsewhere. From designing and fitting wigs to managing lighting-fast quick changes, hair, wigs and make-up people are a major part of the creation of any theatrical production. Yet their role and contribution are much less discussed and written about than elements such as writing, directing and acting, despite being critical to defining and executing the aesthetic of a production. Their involvement requires a great deal of research and creative thinking; collaboration with other members of the creative team; specific knowledge of wig-making and measuring, make-up design and application; and managing all of these elements during the course of the evening. Often required to cover all three elements (and sometimes more), the designer looking after hair, wigs and make-up needs to bring to the production multiple areas of expertise and is a core part of the creative team.
