IF I WERE PRETTIER | MONOLOGUE
Final Project of Photography and Video degree in LABA Valencia.
“If I were prettier,
My hair would never dry with the breeze and my legs would be seen from a glass.
The six centimeters of the heel would be part of my bones, my name would be written in giant and then the sky would not seem so high.
Although if I were prettier, they would paint on my body and every brushstroke would hide the cracks of the sketches that still look out in front of my eyes.
We drown between waves that only rub our legs trying to leave a mark. To then implore the drought to keep our rosebush young.
Time would pass over the color of my hair without trying to hide, but at the end it stays in the winter.
If I were prettier, the air of the windows would stick its judgments in form of hugs on my back and the number of my measurements would never be within any figure.
Even if I were prettier, I would probably like to be someone else”.

“The project is focused on criticism and reflection on contemporary society and the ideologies that are imposed to sell more than a product, to sell an identity. Using a video format that intricately combines elements of fashion, gender stereotypes in advertising and the use of a monologue. The main objective of this work is to question the evolution of female representation in advertising over time, using the monologue to analyze gender perceptions”.
