Baywatch

The work that closes the exhibition took inspiration from the American series Baywatch, which became popular in the 90s and represented the beauty models of the time. Both female and male, dressed in a swimsuit and watching over the Santa Monica beach. The Canadian actress Pamela Anderson was one of the protagonists until 1997. In recent interviews, she confesses that after her appearance in Baywatch, she had many difficulties continuing with her acting career if it were not for showing her physical appearance.

The work consists of a porcelain fragment of a bottle of tonic for facial cleansing. However, it is so small that its origin is difficult to recognise. Assembled with brass rods, it reminds more of the high chair of the Baywatch and, under the glass dome, a kind of archaeological piece, like a fragment of the past. The composition refers to remembering the past to evolve and propose scenarios where physical appearance is not a priority, but to defend human rights and personal values.
