"Las fotografías de la exposición censurada en: 'La dulzura de vivir... desnuda... prohibida... en el 2015... y en Dinamarca'
La policía danesa ha irrumpido en la última exposición de la fotógrafa danesa Mathilde Grafström, situada en la plaza Nytorv de Copenhague, y se ha llevado todas las fotografías clausurándola. ¿La razón? Se mostraban mujeres danesas desnudas en parajes naturales de la región, algo que la policía calificó de indecente. (...)
Mathilde Grafström
considera triste y difícil de creer que se haya realizado esta clausura,
teniendo en cuenta que (según su punto de vista) la ciudad de Copenhage
está inundada de carteles y publicidad donde aparecen mujeres desnudas.
Sus fotografías, en contraposición a las imágenes de cuerpos de los
anuncios, muestran a mujeres reales, con imperfecciones que no
desaparecen, como en el mundo de la moda y la publicidad.
Tal y como
explica en su página web,
los seres humanos somos más bellos de lo que creemos y tenemos una gran
carga de ideas negativas hacia nosotros mismos. Cuando nos deshacemos
de esta carga negativa, brillamos y somos mucho más bellos de lo que
creemos. Y eso es lo que intenta realizando estas fotografías.
La forma de trabajar de esta fotógrafa es particular, ya que ella
misma se encuentra desnuda durante las sesiones fotográficas con idea de
encontrarse al mismo nivel de sus modelos. Sin embargo, ella misma
reconoce tener ciertos complejos y sufrir por su aspecto físico cuando
se encuentra con su pareja.
Su trabajo es por tanto una forma de revindicar belleza sin filtros y
un intento de terapia con sus modelos. Una sana forma mejor de luchar
contra los complejos frente a dañinas opciones como la cirugía estética,
que según la fotógrafa, se encuentra anunciada en gran cantidad de
espacios públicos y puede ser perjudicial para gran cantidad de mujeres
jóvenes al hacerles creer que una operación puede solucionar los
problemas de autoestima." (xatacafoto, 21-Diciembre - 2015)
The Female Beauty Project
The female photographer, Mathilde Grafström has discovered that the picture
we have of our self, determines how we appear to others. When she is
shooting her models, she is using this insight to make her models show
themselves from their best side. ”When we don't make our self small,
boring and ugly with our own thoughts, we shine naturally of beauty,
life and joy" she says and continues: ”All humans have more beauty in
them than they realize.
And it can be called forward in one days time,
if we are willing to work with our self and question all our negative
beliefs about our self.”
"I love to shoot my models whilst they are naked. But sometimes it can be
difficult because I also fight with my own problems; I think my hips and
breasts are to small. Sometimes when my boyfriend are looking at my
body, I think that I'm unattractive.
But then I can see that it's all
the negative thoughts about my body that makes me less beautiful and
unfree. When I think harder about it, then these thoughts are not new,
but very old - I came to believe this about myself early in my life as a
little girl, when I didn't receive the love and care I needed from my
parents. I dreamt of being my fathers little princess, but I rarely was,
so I came to believe that I was not pretty enough for him.
Today I know
that these thoughts are nonsense and not true. When I am weeding my
inner flowerbed from old thoughts, I get really happy. And I see that I
am perfect just as I am.
This is the knowledge I use when I help my models to find their beauty - and
suddenly the girl that I'm working with can let go and show herself to
me. And this is the moment where she is full of life, and that makes me
so happy to see.
This is also when I just know that these pictures are
great, because this is all it takes to look amazing.
It's important for me that my models understand that the pictures I want to
make of her, is not about how she looks physically, but about the life
energi and beauty she contains. I believe that the saying, that true
beauty comes from inside, is actually true, so it's not so much about
the pose or position she is in when we are shooting, but more about the
deeper understanding of herself, and when she gets that - the real work
has begun.
Now the negative beliefs can be hunt down and destroyed, because they are
not good on pictures. With this bad attitude you can never look or feel
good.
Often when they see the pictures after the shooting has ended, I succeed with
making women really happy for a longer period of time, when they
realize that they are actually really wonderful, alive and beautiful.." Mathilde Grafström
