MAGAZINE SERIES is a project by Spanish artist Guim Tió. This book features some of his stunning works done from 2013 to 2016.
Guim Tió named his techniques method as “eye surgery” — with models representations and perfect appearance spread across the pages of magazine. He extracted this perfection from the magazine, in terms of removed the surface ink, and to re-cover the figures. A metaphor for how popular media affect our perception of beauty, as well as the physical manipulation of plastic surgery, genetics and cybernetics, revealing that dark part of the human soul hid behind the pretense of perfection.
