> Wigs as secondary skin. Our faces are already interfaces-into a new realm.
This book approaches the face not as a fixed site of identity, but as a mutable interface—an adaptive surface.It frames Tomihiro Kono’s wigs as a secondary skin, blurring the boundaries between human and non-human, the individual and the system.
Through human hair—an intensely human material—it explores forms that resemble unfamiliar organisms, specimens, or cosmic beings, producing a sense of drift between self and other, nature and artifice, body and signal. It's a 368 page book with a sequence of face in various wigs inspired by organism forms.
368p p, Full colour, Soft cover, 12cm x 17cm, English + Japanese

Tomihiro Kono is best known for his unconventional artistic wigs and has long explored hair as a creative medium. Through his practice, he has expanded the wig beyond its conventional function, approaching it as a sculptural object that embodies the human as a site of transformation.
