This is like a blog...but shorter.
“Poses” es una crítica directa a lo absurdo y artificial del mundo del glamour y de la moda que nos venden las revistas, en concreto a la imagen distorsionada que difunden de la mujer a través de modelos que no representan a las mujeres reales y que obvian a todas aquellas que no están dentro de sus restringidos parámetros.
Utilizando esas posturas imposibles de las editoriales de moda como símbolo de lo esperpéntico e irreal de esta industria, un grupo de mujeres reales traslada estas poses a escenas cotidianas: la cola de un museo, el supermercado o un semáforo, provocando la reacción de los espectadores (consumidores habituales de esas imágenes).
Con todas las reacciones el objetivo se ha cumplido: evidenciar lo ridículo y en ocasiones dañino, que puede resultar seguir esos modelos que nos impone el mundo del “glamour”.

Final Speech of "The Great Dictator" by Charlie Chaplin -
Written and delivered by Sir Charles Chaplin
General Schulz: Speak - it is our only hope.
The Jewish Barber (Charlie Chaplin):
I'm sorry but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black men, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others' happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls; has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge as made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say "Do not despair." The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder! Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men---machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have a love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.
Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it’s written “the kingdom of God is within man”, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.
Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill their promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness.
Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

Este trabajo fue realizado en el 2008 para Gnarls Barkley para su album "The Odd Couple". Entre la direccion de camaras, guion, efectos, performance, en fin, todo me parecio genial.

No es lo mismo mirar un punto en tu pasado, que ver el pasado sin puntos. Les presento a Sam, Sam Klemke, un caricaturista que aparte de plasmar sus creaciones en papel, nos proyecta sus ultimos 35 años de vida de una manera muy peculiar, desde momentos insipidos, hasta unos quizas intimos. Lo curioso es la manera de hacerlo. Un verdadero viaje en el tiempo, donde (si ya eres adulto) te identificaras con muchas de las modas, estilos, lugares y momentos aqui presentados.
La vida se nos pasa volando,disfrutala!
