RGB Lookbook (five—channel video installation, 2013) RGB is one of the colour models, and the popular lookbooks are used to endorse lifestyles and fashionable looks. Virtual carnivality is their way to accumulate everyday life stripped of its ordinary nature. The girls dressed in red, green, and blue are presenting an image of the contemporary carnivalism, turning it into a peculiar diary written in a language of concrete-sensual symbols characteristic to video blogs and youtube channels and found in everyday life.
