Cocco’s work explores the capacity for flesh and its representations to create an uncanny sense of unease. With pieces that utilize the inhuman look of artifical “flesh-toned” items such as makeup, bandages, or underwear, Cocco pushes an aesthetic representation of the body toward revulsion. The piece “placeholder” involves the install team drawing faces from a template with flesh-colored lipstick, stopping when the lipstick ran out. The shape of the faces recalls a Munch-like discomfort and becomes a type of decorative pattern on the wall of the gallery.
