– What body are we using and performing lately to offer the glance of society, to guarantee a place in the stage of visibilities?

The culture of the body as “body image” and “body message” that speaks for a subject is in large part due to the mass media. The cult for the actual beauty has something of religious: non-acceptance of fatality – rids, flaccidity, ageing. It is the body-image, that presents itself to the mirror of society, that settles one’s happiness.

Starting of the myth of the “misses” or the top models, “New Body” works are circumscribed to “social images”, above all in what is concerned to the act of seeing and being seen.
I question and reflection the identity and the authenticity of the feminine body – its power, its satisfaction, its” perfection”/”imperfection”, the beauty that shows itself, the one that hides itself …its age – its ageing.
