Carlota Guerrero Instagram – Before the opening of our current pop-up in Los Angeles, we curated a performative installation featuring our friend and muse Kiko Mizuhara. Inspired by the vibrant culture of celebrity that defines the city, we aimed to explore the inner world of pop icons, delving into their experiences of hypervigilance and the pervasive nature of idealization. The setting of this installation captures the allure and complexity of celebrity culture. Amidst the space, a woman sleeps, her presence contrasting with the city’s pulse. Yet, even in her repose, she becomes a focal point, an object of fascination for those who pass by. Conceptualized and documented by Carlota Guerrero, the piece is part of her extensive repertoire and exploration of the female gaze. Through her work, she delves into the complexities of how women perceive themselves and are perceived by others, encouraging reflection on the vulnerability and constant exposure inherent in the female experience.
