Christophe Beauregard overlooks the scars and other "before and after" clichés, photographing instead a series of anonymous faces, all surgically retouched; now at peace with themselves, these individuals have nonetheless begun a subtle, slow blurring of identity and gender. The photographs are accompanied by texts from Nicolas Thély, critic and lecturer at Paris 1, and plastic surgeon Vladimir Mitz, each revealing their own "aesthetic" vision.
