Lynski facially reporting on Paris Internationale

London-based make-up artist Lynski pursues the art of the 2020 Paris Internationale exhibition through close-ups—offering a tactile and personal report of the event. Through her craft, Lynski re-interprets selected paintings and art objects, ultimately pushing our understanding around the possibilities of “remote” encouters with art.

I think about MEMORY and then I think about REMEMBERING the stories my imagination creates which are stories about the ocean and how sea stars—they aren't supposed to be called starfish anymore because they aren't fish at all—have their eyes at the pointed tips.
