Art project Pandemonia - a vivid example of how a work of art begins to live its own life in the literal sense: drinks champagne, goes to the hairdresser, gives interviews. The authors of the project tried to create a parody of the world of celebrities, gloss and glamor, so colorful on the outside and so empty on the inside.
The legend states: “She was born in 2009 at the exhibition Tracey Emin in the gallery "White Cube", a height of 2 m 10 cm and with ideal proportions of a supermodel, 90/60/90 ". Pandemonia Coated from head to toe in latex, she has bright red lips, blue eye shadow and developing bouncy curls. She always chooses the tightest outfits and the highest heels. She also has a miniature dog named Snowball, also inflatable.
Your hairstyle Pandemonia pays special attention. The color of the "hair" changes according to any whim of fashion: from a blonde it easily turns into a redhead or a brunette. Sometimes shocking with bold decisions a la Medusa Gorgon. There is a video that captures one of her visits to the hairdresser: she sits in an armchair, reading a magazine, the main theme of which is herself. Then the master sprinkles a cleaning agent on the hair and wipes it with a dry cloth.
She is the embodiment of the ideal image of a celebrity: appearing at the next contemporary art exhibition or private fashion show, she invariably becomes one of the main attractions of the event.
Pandemonia loves champagne, takes a lot of pictures, is happy to answer questions from interviewers. It embodies the idea of the ideal work of art, in which there is no room for visible flaw, by the ideologue of pop art Andy Warhol. "Snowball walks only on the red carpet", "Favorite book is my social diary." These words could belong to any socialite. And the irony is what their half-model and half-inflatable doll says.

Death and the triumph of glamor in the "Waste Paper" art project by Ch & P Juinior
If you believe the writer Pelevin, then all modern culture can be expressed in the form of the abbreviation D & G, which stands for Discurse & Glamor.
