M004 PIMP MY LIFE / MOTION (experimental)
Intention
Pimp my Life is a satirical take on the grotesque logic of conformity, where perfection is plastic-wrapped, and pain is part of the ritual.
It is a satire dressed in pink. It reveals how the tools of control no longer hide, they decorate our living rooms. Beauty becomes domesticated, automated, routine. When the standard is everywhere, difference becomes a threat, and desire turns into discipline.

What happens when beauty is no longer a feeling, but a rule?
In a world where the unattractive have no place, beauty becomes a system : rigid, repeatable, and marketable. There is only one kind of beautiful: smooth, shiny, and empty. No room for flaws. No space for emotion. Just a single, inescapable ideal, sold to all, fitting no one.
Then a darker figure emerges: the Iron Maiden. Shiny, elegant, and brutal. She promises transformation, one nail at a time. A machine dressed as progress, built to pierce and polish. The idea that beauty must hurt, and that control can be sold as care, becomes the new normal.
