LUCIA FAINZILBER - PHOTOGRAPHY

An Argentinian photographer based in New York

Lucia is a photographer, art director and colorist in postproduction.

Her perspective as an artist really moved me - The way she combines a space with a mix of fantasy that transfers you in two different places at the same time and the colorless but colored mood.   

"Every day I look for something. Something is represented by spaces that usually are found in memories. These become alive in all these corners of the Earth. Wherever I go they can grow again as images that recreate the spaces where fantasies and dreams were once contained. " - Lucia Fainzilber

REVEALED / CONCEALED

When we had this photo shoot and I looked into the pictures the first thing that came to my mind was modesty vs nudity. Then I remembered that during my Polimoda days we had a further analysis of this subject... And then we came up with a fantastic project of "Revealed & Concealed"... (Special thanks to my group Mayssa, Ines and Burak). When we started to analyze it we came up with a lot of questions and for sure a lot of information..And the truth is that throughout the twentieth century the body exposure of woman has  always been an erogenous zone receiving  special attention, depending on the decade of course.

I couldn't help but wonder... Is fashion associated with female liberation?!

It all started from back to 20's with the showing legs and the mid length skirt, continued with the 30's and 40's with the maxi dresses and the open back, on the 50's the slim waste silhouettes and the show of the curves of the female body, then 60's and 70's with the revolution of the mini skirt and the hot pants and closing with the 80's and 90's with the total female liberation.. After these decades women were free to choose what they want to wear..

So after all these years...

Is fashion a back and forth situation of the previous decades with an extra touch of style? What happened with the erogenous zone nowadays?

Nudity can be vulgar or artistic  , it depends on the perspective of the user and the voyeur.

 Depends on the era, culture and purpose.

My personal opinion is that when a person wants to express a feeling or an attitude there's always a way to do it. Even behind of a veil or a burka. Just from a look on the face or through the body language you can understand a lot.

But.. Here comes the question..

Do the clothes make the person or the person makes the clothes?
