The white mask is a replica of the face of Nefertiti (ca. 1350 BC), the Royal wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, who was considered a remarkably beautiful woman. Some say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, others claim the perception of beauty depends on hard facts, such as the ideal proportions. Noten created a Nefertiti-mask with tiny holes to inject either ‘botox’ of ‘filler’ in the face that hides behind the mask. The injected fluids will subsequently sculpt the face according to the rules of perfect beauty. In case the beautifying operation does not succeed, a golden suicide pill offers a last resort.
(The design of the mask was based on the Marquardt Beauty Mask)
