Speaking Bodies

  • Inês da Fonseca
"The body has always been a key element in interpersonal communication and in the establishment of our role in society. Visual culture reflects the same reality, giving a prominent place in the representation of people. In this sense, the contemporary invades our sight with a multitude of faces and bodies, many of them exemplar serving commercial interests and promote widespread cultural stereotypes. "
