MONSTER
״The pursuit of the ideal body alienates us from the body itself״
Three women scan their bodies from head to toe searching for memories: a scar, an imprint, a story. In their bodies they find a map of their own human experience, both physical and emotional. Revealed are untold tales of experiences and transformations throughout their lives. they discover that all the while they rise up against their own bodies and nature.
In an attempt to adhere to unwritten codes, the three women try to find their place in a society that perceives the ever-changing female body as a source of danger. The women in Monster are criticizing the ideal body conventions and behavior and trying to accept their ever changing self with more freedom and with less fear of what others will think...
