George-Henry Longly — 7 hair care
George-Henry Longly

7 hair care

2014

A polished marble surface becomes the foundation for an unexpected convergence of luxury and the mundane, as Longly integrates Yves Saint Laurent's iconic Touche Éclat highlighter and whipped cream chargers into a sculptural assemblage held together by industrial steel fixings. The work playfully interrogates consumer desire and beauty culture, collapsing the boundaries between high fashion, bodily ritual, and everyday commodity. Through this material tension, *7 Hair Care* positions glamour and disposability as two sides of the same seductive coin.
