Living Sculptures

Plastic surgery is not a new thing and every time I am in the USA I am amazed at how “normal” it seems to have become. Philip Toledano‘s portrait series”A New Kind of Beauty” shows people who have gone under the knife and submitted to “extreme platic surgery”. Merble, it seems, is an outdated medium where sculpting is concerned. It has been replaced by flesh.

Toledano’s photos photos capture his subjects beautifully. The decision whether they themselves have been made beautiful, he leaves to the beholder.
