Amalia Ulman. Excellences & Perfections

This book presents the fiercely intelligent internet‑based performance of artist Amalia Ulman, which she eventually revealed to be a critical artwork about issues of online identity. Amalia Ulman's performance «Excellences & Perfections», which unfolded on Instagram* in 2014, follows an aspiring it‑girl who undergoes a series of cosmetic surgeries and lifestyle changes to help jumpstart her career. For six months Ulman mesmerized her followers with nearly daily posts that documented a young woman trying on different personas in order to make her way in the world.
