Urban dolls
June 18, 2010
Urban Dolls is the project of designer Vilma Jaruseviciute presented as a critical stance on plastic surgery when at the DMY international design festival held at Berlin Tempelhof Airport. TUrban Dolls consists of a series of wearable to prosthetics (perhaps influenced by Dunne & Raby, Jaruseviciute’s teachers). In her own words, the designer says:
‘It is getting more and more difficult to define a concept of contemporary beauty. In urban society, where the hunt for perfection begins at an early age and modified ‘plastic beauties’ wave from the covers of glossy magazines, humanity’s struggle for perfection appears almost limitless. This project is an explorative journey in search of alternatives that could replace plastic or aesthetic surgery. Design becomes a mediator between humans and existing body modification processes; static, permanent procedures are transformed into flexible, temporary prosthetics.’
