My first (and only at the moment!) creation to be displayed in an exhibition (Statart's "Cambiamento", 14March2007).
It's about my recover from the obsession for a perfect body (which led me to bulimia last year). On the background, newspaper articles i collected about models and common people diying of anorexia, people's opinion about these every day more common events.
In close up, a *resumption* of a theme from my barbie-series, previously unexplained and left to interpretation. Here i chose to give it a meaning, stated by the sentence on the bottom: "io le barbie me le mangio", that is something like "Barbies?I'm eating them".
It's a kind of *pun* about getting through anorexia. Those perfect bodies? I'm determined not to waist another tear on them. I prefer to EAT them instead
Shakespeare wrote:
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
Una delle critiche piu’ comuni rivolte a Barbie è la promozione di un’idea irreale del corpo femminile: una donna che cercasse di emularla diventerebbe anoressica. Diversi studi hanno dimostrato che per avere un “corpo da Barbie” dovrebbe essere alta 2 metri e 20, pesare 52kg, avere una vita di 45 cm, fianchi di 82cm e un seno di 120cm. In pratica le mancherebbe il 22% di grasso corporeo necessario ad una donna per mestruare.
“Lei non ha occhi come il sole ardenti,
meno rosse le labbra ha del corallo;
se candida è la neve, i suoi seni sono spenti;
se fili d'oro i riccioli, i suoi scuro metallo.
Rosse, bianche screziate, ho visto rose,
vederle sul suo volto è cosa vana;
ci sono essenze ben più deliziose
del profumo che il suo respiro emana.
Amo che parli. ma ho chiara l'idea
che la musica ha un suono più soave:
non vidi mai incedere di dea,
e la mia donna passi in terra muove:
ma la mia donna è rara e ha altrettanti doni,
quanto quella esaltata con falsi paragoni.”
Shakespeare ci era arrivato secoli fa. Ma a quanto pare di imparare dal passato non se ne parla.
Ogni anno bulimia ed anoressia si impossessano di 65.000 persone solo in Italia. Il 20% di queste non sopravvive, in un mondo di Barbie.
Il “Cambiamento” necessario non deve venire solo da fuori. Si comincia ad eliminare la taglia 38? Si scorgono modelle in carne sulle passerelle degli stilisti piu’ famosi? Ben vengano, ma non basta. Siamo noi a dover cambiare testa. Non è vero che “grasso è bello”. Ma nemmeno “magro è bello”. Il punto è questo: la bellezza non sta nel fisico.
Il tuo corpo perfetto, Barbie? Due bocconi, e non c’è piu’.
well honey be sure that theres a lot of possibilities in our weirds and complex univers! According to me, all is possible with 7 billions different thinking around the planet!
ma guarda un po'! anche io mi ero fissata con le barbie O.O
quando i miei genitori hanno visto le foto che ci ho fatto, hanno preso paura XD
cmq si anch'io ho fatto qualcosa di simile al tuo [link]
