Eleanor Antin wonderful performance: A Traditional Sculpture was made in 1972 questioning the beauty standars and creating a parallel between the women's body with the marbel made sculptures. 

Whilst developing my thesis dissertation I thought of being that sculpture and living it in my own flesh and bones. This was the result of 3 weeks of diet and extreme exercise.  

Wrinkles, the nightmare of a woman's age. Botox, the illusion of youth. A serie of photos were wrinkles are seen as the beauty in the face, a declaration of a personal experience and the universal human condition. 

I grew up watching Victoria Models and Hollywood stars in the channel E! As all or most of the women in my generation. I wanted to be like them. 

​

The photographical performance responds to a critique to this beauty stars that we longed so much to become.  Paris Hilton's neck, Jessica Alba's abs, Nicole Kidman's skin, etc.. 

​

Famouse french artist Orlan transformed her body with surgery with renaissance beauty concepts : as the Leonardo DaVinci's Monalisa's forehad and the Venu's of Boticelli's chin. 

Without a surgery I thought of painting their names in my body as a constant reminder  of what I am supposed to be. 

Morrisey, I do, some of drama. Transforming a painful relationship into art. Once I saw a beautiful piece of art that reminded me my marriage: it was a Wreath full of black roses and the inscription " Until death do us art"

​

I thought of my broken marriage and this photographical  born.  I ripped out a The Smiths T-shirt and repaire it with a blue tread and a needle.  A symbolism of what my love became.
