A re-signification of the naked body on the scene
Body; Naked; Scenic Art.
The view of the great majority of people in the face of nudity is guided by imposed social standards, but we can understand it by artistic bias because it can give us a different look. The naked body is subject to the judgment of appearances and the inevitable associations to original sin, in the present world where religions permeate many daily actions of the population, thus, it is treated as offensive, even within the artistic field, and the works that use the skin as costumes tend to carry the weight of such associations made through existing social paradigms. Works of art, which use nudity as an aesthetic and poetic element, can provide a differentiated perception of this naked body in the scene. In the search for a differentiated look, the hypothesis proposed here proposes that this nudity be understood not as absence of costume or intimate exhibition of the body, but by the skin as clothes, by which, the artist can resignify the use of the naked body in scene.
