Bunga Bunga, an artists’ book by Lorenzo Tricoli
The focus of this book is not the beauty of the contemporary woman, but how kitsch and the grotesque, have become esthetic codes not only acceptable by the masses, but a goal, to aspire to, thanks to a culture born out of Television.
Infact, it is from the the working class where they come from, these socalled graceless ‘beauties’ that, inevitably, looking for shortcuts to success, deliberately mutilate their own genuine beauty, to put it at service of cameras and television, and above all to Power.
