"ANIMAL MOTION PLANET / SAVON DE CORPS" NICOLA COSTANTINO
nicola costantino, (Rosario, Argentina, 1964) one of the most significant artists on the Latin American scene presents, coinciding with the opening of the new 07/06 season, a set of works belonging to her trabajos Animal Motion Planet_cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_y Savon de coprs.
Animal Motion Planet is an installation of orthopedic machines for unborn animals: calves and horses. These machines have different functions: walking, chewing in the manner of ruminant calves, raising their legs and bowing their heads, as rearing horses do.
These complex instruments, prepared to hold the body of the animal and give it the movements it would make if it were alive, for a moment give the appearance of life to these bodies, puppetizing them, albeit with a positivist attitude, the modern spirit that defies nature is emulated, denying the indefectible in a naive effort, and in this case, meaningless.
savon de corps , Nincola Costantino's soap, is a luxury cosmetic item. It is a multiple of 100 soaps containing 3 percent fat from the artist's body. This adipose tissue (which amounts to two kilos) was obtained from a liposuction that Costantino underwent for this project. The soap is shaped like a female back, waist and hip, and its gourmet aroma is sweet: caramel milk.
The work consists of the launch of Savon de Corps by means of the advertising strategy cosmetics with an identification of the public famous person such as a model or actress, and not in the article itself. In Savon de Corps, Nicola does not appear because she is the face but rather the raw material of the product.
Costantino's acid look at the body industry takes shape in a soap with which the public will not buy the image, but the body of the model, in a new conception of consumption. The erotic offer goes further: the body soap is there to wash us by coming into contact with another body.
