The visitor is confronted with how the most intimate and yet public part of himself, the face and the emotions it expresses, can be easily manipulated, and placed in contexts beyond his control.<\/p>\n<p>The installation by Thiel and \u201c\/p\u201d invites the public to directly experience the possibilities and risks of giving someone the control of their face, their image, their statements, losing for a few moments, in a controlled environment, their individuality and become part of a larger \u201ccollective body\u201d that assumes, albeit in an awkward and imperfect way, the voice of a single character who can be identified as \u201cpositive\u201d or \u201cnegative\u201d. However, this is not a warning against absolute surveillance or an invitation to root for one or the other famous person, but also a reflection on the importance of being part of the chorus of activists who are fighting to change things in the world, under every flag:\u00a0<em>Lend Me Your Face<\/em>\u00a0is in fact a reinterpretation of a verse of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare pronounced by Mark Anthony \u201cFriends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!\u201d, we are thus urged to become members of that political body which is active citizenship.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lend Me Your Face<\/em> |Tamiko Thiel<br \/>\nMETRONOM| Via Carteria 10 | 41121 Modena<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a9Tamiko Thiel in collaboration with \u201c\/p\u201d, <i>Lend Me Your Face: Go FakeYourself!<\/i>, 2021, still<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":737,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"digital-video-wall-category":[60],"class_list":["post-613","digital-video-wall","type-digital-video-wall","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","digital-video-wall-category-digital-video-wall"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>LEND ME YOUR FACE: GO FAKE YOURSELF !
