Psychics (stills and film, published in T Magazine and Dossier)
I wanted to conduct an experiment on how our appearance - our outer shell - directly affects our future. I asked Meghan Collison to star in the live performance project by undergoing series of dramatic transformations, a la Cindy Sherman, using fashion, wigs and makeup. Stylist Polina Aronova created the most iconic archetypes of women seen in NYC, "Upper East Side Lady", "Hippie", "Blogger", "Gothic Prep School Girl", "Architect", "All American Girl".... Once in her "character du jour" Meghan went to get her clairvoyant readings by numerous Psychics in NYC - all undercover. I documented it Guerrilla-Style. The experiment was a success - each of those psychics thought Meghan was a different girl and gave her a totally different fortune which was directly connected to her appearance!!! (None of the psychics even guessed that Meghan was a model!).
