Exhibition by Ana Álvarez-Errecalde
From 26 February to 22 March 2010
Opening: 26 February at 20:00 h
MORE STORE / TALLAS (MORE STORE/SIZES) is an art project that combines installation, photography and video, displayed in a simulated shop environment where the bodies of more than forty women of different origins, ages and sizes are exhibited in the shape of suits.
MORE STORE / TALLAS encourages reflection on the value of the body, which depends on arbitrary factors such as “MADE IN” (country of origin) and beauty; it proposes to experience the confusion/understanding that results from wearing someone else’s skin, and makes use of irony in its consideration on the value of individuals according to market parameters.
