Wrinkles
Artist: Noa Zilberman
Photography: Ami Zilberman (stills) and Gideon Levine (video).
The work “Wrinkles” by artist Noa Zilberman is composed of four objects and a video. In this work she explores the aging process of the human face, as it accumulates defects with the passage of time. The wrinkles are well-treated: even before they appear on the face they are repaired at once with a delicate filling of gold. But is it really a repair, or perhaps in that process she accentuates, celebrates, and immortalizes the signs of time? This work challenges the concepts of feminine beauty, and shifts it toward the mystical and the wondrous.

In my work I investigate the parameters of the aging process creating a unique wrinkles map in which my future wrinkles are represented, filled-in and repaired using a gilded metal thread. The resulting image led to the design of a series of wrinkle mask jewelry for the face, neck and decollate.

The contrast created between the young facial skin and the unavoidable wrinkles awaiting it, abolishes a timeline and gives a platform to morphological transformation. This intervention undermines the function of the object as jewelry and stresses questions that do not only concern repair and impair, but also ugliness, beauty and blurring of the line between the two.
