RE Make UP is an installation that culminates in action. This video show us a sequence of how a face makes up virtually, projecting to another people the image that her desired to transmit, but at the same time, forgetting small traces of what she try to conceal. An image reconstructed that the artist had given herself to go out and to be contemplated.

The projected face on a wall becomes invisible backup that is painted through a peripheral element -the light of the optic mouse- performing the shape of the appearance.
Remembering us to G. B. Shaw, the artist uses the mirror to see her face and the art to see her soul.
Making up represents the impulse of hiding s Keeling. A wound in the soul, a chance to hide what inevitable can be felt through the reveling eyes. The wishing of self-convincement that circumstances around can change if it can be seen in any other way. It not about looking for a make up that improve her appearance, just a touch that gives color to life and a escape forward, a way of going out of the reality where she is in that moment.
The procedure applied in this artwork would be more linked to the performance than to the processes of manipulation of the digital image. Nevertheless, the employed elements for their execution are used habitually in the digital creation.
In this piece the artist decided not to interfere in the noises that are produced during the capture of the data that is transferred and registered digitally.
