Second Skin

The tongue precedes the face. This is the argument the image makes and does not retract. Desire as infrastructure: the leather arrives not to conceal but to conclude — the face was always tending toward a surface that needed no interior to sustain it. The faces behind her are not audience. They are the same proposition at an earlier stage, tongues out, still in the process of understanding that the outside was the point all along. Deniz Korkmaz
