Distorted Beauty refers to the connection between the fashion and beauty industry’s longseated practice of transforming the photographic image by means of excessive retouching, ultimately creating a frame for what constitutes conventional beauty. While the current backlash against touching up of celebrities has taken center stage, similar techniques are employed on nearly all beauty and fashion images. This exhibition will examine the state of hidden digital manipulation, and generate dialogue about the nature of this controversy, by exposing the degree to which body image is distorted beyond what is “true” or “real”.

ALL PROCEEDS OF SILENT AUCTION WILL BENEFIT THE URBAN JUSTICE CENTER’S SEX WORKERS PROJECT.

GALLERY at STATION DIGITAL
located at 73 Franklin St. (between B’way and Church,) New York, NY. The opening reception on Thursday April 8th, 7 to 10pm, is free and open to the public. For
