Fragile – Robi Watt

Fragile

My work is a satirical reaction to everyday fashion magazines. I have friends involved in retouching images for magazines and they tell me about being instructed to; for instance, remove the creases from a models elbow joint, which I think is hilarious. I am responding to the plasticization of such figures, not in a critical way, though more playfully in reaction to this synthetic phenomenon. The images also make reference to various icons, with the people in the images being more like popular culture objects than humans.
