For this performance, Andreea David worked in a solitary space, where the sole observer was her own critical eye from the future, through the recording camera. The artist thus turned into the subject of her own aesthetic judgment and the object of her own narcissism. Aware of the look, the nude body immediately adjusts, performs postures stereotypically associated with femininity and its representations, fetish images that constantly require perfecting. In this performance, the nude self-composes in its own landscape, in its own staging, it hides behind its own representation and conceals itself in the outer look.

"Watching this show, we are reminded of the way in which the female body has been used throughout art history (usually as an object of male adoration), but also as an expression of social interactions that have perpetuated the same model." - Garbo.ro
