Body Magic #1
Please visit the full set on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zerbetron/sets/72157625319828654/ This series of images depicts the affects of various contol garments on the body. Contol garments are marketed to overweight men and women to “reshape” their bodies and aid them in weight loss. By highlighting the affects of these harsh garments on the flesh, I’m hoping to shed light on the real result of body policing and control sold to us as a form of health and beauty.
These marks were left by the Ardyss Body Magic. This garment is marketed men and women to reshape and reform their bodies. Quoted directly from their website:
“With Ardyss Girdles, you can look like you’ve lost 2-3 dress sizes in just a matter of minutes – 10 minutes or less, to be exact. Dubbed by majority of its users as “Body Magic”, Ardyss Girdles are the safe, painless, effortless way to look slimmer right away, and to look good and feel good about yourself in an instant.”
I feel these images adaquately demonstrate just how “safe” and “painless” that process really is.
