Three artists who shed their skin, creating interfaces with new worlds, magnetic and glacial surfaces or bark-like cortexes that are then contorted to reveal an unexpected and alienating identity. They shed their Skin, the epidermis, the surface that contains us, offering only a glimpse of our exterior selves to the world. Matthew Allen (New Zealand, 1981) challenges matter: packed onto the surface, graphite powder becomes a solid, almost mirror-like skin. Inma Femenía (Spain, 1985) manipulates digital images and video surveillance footage, transferring them onto PVC or aluminum plates, which she then crumples up. Lyz Parayzo (Brazil, 1994) builds disturbing sharp objects such as razors, which are capable of tearing the skin, but also necessary in its defence.
