Inflation \ud83d\udcc8 explores the cultural phenomenon of the inflated body and the impact it has on our perception of beauty and consumer value along three axes:<\/p>\n

The comparison between capitalist inflation and body inflation is striking. Inflation, the phenomenon of rising prices and currency devaluation, is often the result of unchecked economic growth and speculation. Similarly, body inflation, the cultural obsession with transforming the body to conform to a certain ideal, is often driven by a culture of uncontrolled beauty standards and consumerism.<\/p>\n

Likewise, subcultural trends appear through the filter of desire, such as the controversial phenomenon of bimbofication, which promotes exaggerated and hypersexualised feminine attributes as the ultimate ideal, and others with a perverse reverse in internet fan arts aimed at the pornography of philias and perversions such as hypertrophied pregnancies, extreme bodybuilding, gigantism or body magic illusion. In addition, the exhibition also includes conceptual work with energy drink cans and inner tube trainers. These elements accentuate the pressure of an efficiency and consumption culture in the constant search for perfection and success in today’s society.<\/p>\n
