GOLDEN PUBICS OF THE SILVER SCREEN

The story goes that a papparazi at the height of the silver screen has collected pubic hairs from the hotel rooms of Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn and gilded them.

How close do fans want to get to their stars? What are papparazi willing to do to get fans close to their stars?

This work is about fans, stars and the perception of value.
Is it possible to create value from something that is often discarded. A loose pubic hair in the shower drain.

Playing the part of a star.
