Constructed from a Hairdresser’s wig-making mannequin, the work has an assortment of measuring devices attached to the head, including a ruler, pocket watch mechanism, typewriter, camera segments and a crocodile wallet. Hausmann through this piece of work has tried to revamp and argue the idea of an ideal Head. While according to Hegel and many others, the notion of head is of course of reason and is driven by the fact that everything rests within the mind and every outcome is a result of what lies within. However, the artist discards this notion and tries to pull out the reverse aspect by simply pointing out that whatever sticks to the head defines the thought process and he explains this literally by sticking on the materials to the head. It is the materiality or objectivity of the world that defines the thoughts rather than thoughts residing within the head. art etc.
