POST PIN UP & HEROINES SERIE
Through this work I look for deconstructing the woman’s stereotyped image as a sexual passive object.
There is no doubt that the Pin Up is the best paradigm to show the power of the men’s look on woman’s representation and its effect in a society dominated by consumism and “fast food” images.
When I build those female pictures joining parts that sometimes look as disconnected, I look for breaking the chain of meanings established by the masculinity and opening it into a constant become, spreading and opening it into a rhizomatic net and offering it the opportunity to become an active subject more than a passive object.
When female pictures become “uncomfortable”, men want to aniquilate them. When women go beyond the desirable and passive grows in men his incapability to desire her and therefore control her.
What happen when the man puts himself on the place of the woman? What happens to the observer when he looks at these ambiguous images? The mechanism of desire is broken, there is something repulsive, monstrous and rough but at the same time sexy which generates contradictory feelings. |
