Princess Beauty is a mixed-media video installation. The title refers to Aliz Mosonyi’s poem, which is a tale about a girl with tulips in her hands that whisper all kinds of disciplinary orders into her ears. They are trying to tame her to be a well-groomed and well-behaved lady. The work deals with the conflict between one’s own agency and the physical and mental constraints that are imposed on them. It addresses the protagonist’s attempts to exist in this environment, her emotions and her escape. The videos in the installation are a combination of 3D animations with physical simulations. A lot of unpredictable, random events and glitchy effects became part of the creative process.
