WHAT BEAUTY FEELS LIKE
"What beauty feels like" (2015), part of the selection of FONLAD FESTIVAL, will be screened in Madrid at Proyector Festival (4-5 October) and in Forli (Italy), at the Ibrida Festival context (14-15 October). A big big thanks to Fonlad Digital Art Festival and curator José Vieira
"What beauty feels like" is the slogan/logo of the famous hair removal product. A slogan that persuades the audience to believe that they will be "beautiful" as long they use this hair removal product for touchable, soft, desirable, extra smooth, moisturized and shiny legs that can proudly show off. Here the same slogan is used to celebrate:
The pleasure of "failing" to conform to certain presumptions about female appearance. The pleasure of "failing" to satisfy basic expectations of public presentation and image. The pleasure of "failing" to follow social standards for beauty. The pleasure of showing off real touchable, soft, desirable, moisturized,shiny, beautiful, hairy legs
