Writer/journalist Anna Battista‘s new lecture “Woman in the Mechanical Age: Manipulating, Morphing and Idealising the Female Body“ is featured in the Cycles & Seasons event in Moscow this week.
Anna says:
The lecture will look at how the female body has changed throughout the decades, using images and film clips, exploring the universe of Russian masterpiece Aelita by Yakov Protazanov, iconic Metropolis by Fritz Lang and dystopic Blade Runner by Ridley Scott, and analysing the subtle, scientific, technological, outrageous and industrial mutations that occurred in fashion via collections by Thierry Mugler, Hussein Chalayan, Alexander McQueen and Kei Kagami among the others.
The lecture – preceded by an Aelita-inspired video by Jay Artworx accompanying Dj Batman‘s track “The Ghost of Anna El-Tour“ – is at Moscow’s Multimedia Art Museum tomorrow (October 19) at 6.30 p.m.
