Jill Magid is an American artist that was once involved with the Dutch Secret Service. In 2008, she created the work "I Will Burn Your Face" which was a wall mounted piece with 7mm neon transformers and wires. It was altered permanently in 2009 to reflect confiscations by the Dutch Secret Service. "To Burn a Face" is a phrase used to expose a source's identity. Jill Magid wrote down descriptions of agents she interviewed and then used these descriptions to "burn" them. The neon words are from her notebook in her handwriting.
