Tomomi Nishizawa

In her works, Tomomi Nishizawa analyses current issues of social aesthetics from her own perspective under the motto "the way of beauty in our time". She creates subtle works of art that often appear at first glance to be the usual perfect advertising images for beauty products, but on closer inspection reveal a tremendous power as allusions to the medical-industrial reproduction of beauty ideals.

There is, for example, a sculpture that combines the cold glow of syringes and make-up utensils, or a monumental sculpture that is a symbiosis of medical forceps with an eyelash curler, as well as other very impressive installation works.
Tomomi Nishizawa's concept is always "the state of beauty in our time". Since nowadays the concept of beauty is inseparable from medicine, Nishizawa questions the limits of the human body by intervening with artistic means on the level of form and concept.

This image isn't CGI take pictures of the modelling. It is a fusion of a bottle of "Chanel perfume, no.5", and a Covid-19 vaccine. The perfume is something that adheres to the outside of the skin, while the vaccine is something that enters the body. In this work, the boundary between inside and outside overlaps.
