Are we really sure we want to grow old with the face of the famous and ironic Valeriona Marini?
Nothing against you Vale, on the contrary, I personally believe that you are a woman on many sides misunderstood in your intelligence. I also think you managed to build a character close to ordinary people and for this you have gained their love over the years.
But let me say that perhaps, always in my humble opinion, a few touches of too much has changed forever and your soft and natural features. I take the example of this soubrette because everyone has his face well imprinted in the mind (PRE, but above all POST surgery), but like this, many faces of the show have become the BFF of the most diverse surgeons.
It is not my intention to write a moralistic article on the fact that, in order to feel beautiful and appreciated by others, one must nowadays go to a surgeon’s room. I would be a liar if I wrote here that I never thought, (obviously if I had enough money and if my parents did not throw a pan in my forehead) to fill my cheekbones a little or to increase the surfboard that I have.
Throughout human history, people have always tried to improve their bodies. Many years before corset surgery, which tightened the torso of women to death almost by suffocation. Or with the voluminous wigs from the 1800s and even earlier with the makeup of the ancient Egyptians who, Moira Orfei, excuse me so much, but I think you came a little late.
Now, however, I wonder how far we are willing to go to achieve what society is considered the PERFECT BODY.
What will the body of the future be like?
The same question was asked by the photographer Semuel Souhuwat and the stylist Ricardo van Lachterop in their photographic project Local Surgeon 2084. The two artists have translated our tension towards reaching questionable contemporary aesthetic canons in a photo editorial made of super fleshy lips, increasingly defined cheekbones and flattened skin without any type of imperfection.
The two creatives do not want to judge, oppress people’s choices or express their opinion about it. They simply question the ideal of today’s beauty and give their interpretation of how this aesthetic canon could translate into the future. What they do with these photographs is to allow the viewer to build their own personal opinion.
Creatures of the future, not so far away from the instagram filters that transform our face today into that of Alba Parietti, Nina Morić, or our friend Valeria Marini. Absurdly full lips, sculpted cheekbones and alien eyes is what we like today and that makes us feel beautiful. These exasperated traits are precisely those that Balenciaga in his spring/summer 2020 led on the catwalk.
For us ordinary people today we just need to pick up the phone, open the instagram beauty filter, and feel like the mother nature of Hello Darwin on duty. Sorry, but every time I see such a face posted on social media the only spontaneous reaction that comes to me is to give me a good laugh.
How can such a face be considered beautiful? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it is okay we also use this popular saying. But let me say that my eyes see only so many plastic faces and without personality. Because I believe that beauty is personality and not swollen lips like inflatable boats or balloons instead of cheekbones that suffocate a person’s gaze.
This is my very humble opinion, and I don’t want to judge who instead feels beautiful in these aesthetic canons. I just want you to stop for a moment. Think about this: am I the one who decides what’s beautiful for me or are they others? Is it me or is it instagram, tv, the web telling me how nice it is for me? Only this question I would like to ask you. A simple question that does not want to judge your choices, but attention should be precisely your choices and not those imposed by others.
How the beauty of the future will be, nobody can know for sure, but I really hope it is particular, full of facets, even a little strange and always different depending on the person. So I like to think about the beauties of the future and not just one.
