a moscow-based designer igor kkk has applied these proportions to a category of humanity that seeks the perfection logarithmic spirals can provide: celebrities. his graphic project ‘dr fibonazi’s plastic surgery clinic’ sees the application of the golden ratio and iterations of the sequence to faces like jack nicholson and nicolas cage.
