SVA student, Alon Borten’s immersive photographic and
performance based work deals with issues of identity and sexuality.
“I was really interested in kate moss as this fashion icon, someone
who is constantly being altered and their physical appearance scrutinized to
fit into society's ideas of perfection and beauty.”
Alon wanted to mirror kate’s process, and perform as she
does, while also looking towards the physical transformation of the self.
“I began to understand that performing in a more sexual
manner than I'm used to made me uncomfortable. It was physically difficult
positioning myself in ways that mimicked her own.”

imagery and performance reality.
Just like the SVA students ... Observe. Slow Down. Shoot.
