TRUST FALL
Here Eilish participates in a work
by the Chinese conceptual artist
Xu Zhen, whose destabilizing piece
In Just a Blink of an Eye—first
performed in 2005 in Beijing—is
now in the permanent collection
of the Museum of Contemporary
Art in Los Angeles. In the
work, by means kept carefully
concealed, a figure appears
suspended, mid-fall, for hours
at a time. Balenciaga jacket,
pants, and sneakers. Hair, Holli
Smith; makeup, Fara Homidi.
