Adoration is an interactive video installation inspired by home and women makeovers, which explores the effect of media and pop culture on the female psyche. From a couch, the viewer watches a livingroom makeover and presses remote control keys expecting to unravel various improvements. Adoration slowly reveals itself, not as a creation of finished makeovers, but as a deconstruction of the various audio and visual components that create the made-over illusion.
