HOW PAMELA ANDERSON AND MY CAMERA MADE ME LOOK AT WOMEN WHO HAVE PLASTIC SURGERY.
Nina Gazaniol Vérité
Video
In Marseille, inspired by Pamela Anderson, Nina Gazaniol Vérité embarked on a film adventure alongside several women who have resorted to cosmetic surgery and medicine. By questioning the trivialization of this practice, as well as notions of norms and deviance, she questions her own relationship with the feminine. This film is the sharing of a deconstruction, but perhaps also a story of lies and violence, blood and beauty, power and self-assertion.
Artists
Nina Gazaniol Vérité (FR)
With a degree in Performing Arts and Journalism, she studied the hijacking of television through performance art in the dissertation “Don’t hate the Media, Be the media”, interned at ARTE and approached experimental cinema while getting involved in multiple cross-disciplinary projects. In 2013, she joined the Formation supérieure pour la création en espace public (FAI AR / Marseille), where she developed her interest in architecture, territories, notions of space and inhabitants. Since 2015, she has been imagining various projects while cultivating a valuable relationship with research and writing. She regularly collaborates with different groups and artists while pursuing her own work at the crossroads of video and spatial arts, performance and documentary, questioning a plastic writing rooted in reality. And vice versa. Since 2023, she has been accompanied and supported by Parallèle, Pratiques artistiques émergentes internationales (Marseille).
