With a title derived from Chapter 2: The University of Death, of J.G. Ballard's 1970 novel The Atrocity Exhibition, The Geometry of Her Face serves both as a homage to the original novel and as a visual commentary on the contemporary surge in demand for instant gratification as seen in media consumption habits. Such demand is bred within a climate where scientific progress produces increasingly internet-enabled smartphone devices and rendering available brain-computer interfaces (BCI), enabling users to access information, broadcast private lives and consume entertainment almost anytime and everywhere.
-The Atrocity Exhibition is a montage of 20th-century media landscapes, whose images of assassination, war, psycho-surgical intervention and mutilation are obsessively and pornographically rendered, as if in a series of attempts to grasp the latent destructiveness of modernity. Its fictive pretext is that these elements have been assembled by a former psychiatrist seeking to understand the exorbitant violence of his period. Yet, as his colleague, Dr Nathan, notes, the cure is sometimes the poison.
