PERFECT8 Magazine brings together works by artists and writers that engage the public in a dialogue about the negative impacts of the objectification perpetuated by the media while also promoting empathy as an alternative to this objectification. The PERFECT8 Bodega Installation project placed PERFECT8 magazines amongst the typical magazines sold in a local bodega. By placing PERFECT8 in the bodega, an integrated aspect of the community was intentionally altered. This invasion into the everyday life allows individuals to interact with the project. The dialogue created through the public’s interactions seeked to remind people that they have the choice and the ability to question any value system they are presented with before they accept it.
