Judging by the number of requests in Yandex, thousands of people are concerned about the problem of losing weight. It is unlikely that many of them realize that art may be associated with this problem. Christi Nielsen in her photographs very effectively and with self-irony shows by her own example how difficult it is to lose weight. The photos are interesting in concept and saturated with humor (the masterpiece “Death by Chocolate” alone is worth something), which means that there will be interesting to many.
As you know, those talented photographers who work with people often go beyond ordinary portraits and try to come up with something conceptual. Christi Nielsen did just that. Moreover, the main character in her photographs is herself.
Indeed, a great idea - deciding to lose weight, capture it in the form of works of art, exhibiting their work in exhibitions, of which the artist from Los Angeles had plenty.
Christy Nelson studied at the University of the Arts of Texas, becoming first a bachelor, then, after 3 years, a master of arts.
In the series of photographs that are in the gallery on Christie's website under the heading “I'm just going to lose weight soon”, there is only one creative concept, but each photograph deserves special attention. There are plump thighs tied with a rope, there is Christie kissing a glass of ice cream, there is her body tied with cellophane.
Christi Nielsen challenges us, our understanding of losing weight (if we have any) and our creative flair, skillfully combining a serious topic with a fair amount of humor and self-irony.
