‘The body is the sum of being and have been being. The lived time is visible and how it was lived’. Marlene Streeruwitz

The collection and our collaborative work evolved out of a personal need to examine and question the fetishization of the female body and its parts.

In our society, women are pushed to constantly question their appearance and themselves through advertising, magazines, television and social media. The exposure of the female body, and how unveiling the skin has historically changed in different cultures are the main topics of Larissa Falks diploma collection „Alienation“ and our photographic approach for creating a visual identity.

Rotating between roles and perspectives of looking and being looked at, we analyze the gaze of others as much as our own – choosing not only to be looked at but to gaze back, representing and reclaiming our own power.
