Glitch Art: The “perfect” woman does not exist



Too fat? Big nose? Frizzy fair? Lips too small? Hips too wide? Unfortunately, in our culture looks matter. We see models who look too perfect. Why? Because they’re not actually real.

Most models are Photoshopped in some way. They’re shown in advertisements, not in their natural form, but edited to where the shape of their body is actually changed to look thinner, or have bigger lips, and other things like that. If you look at photos of before and after Photoshopped advertisements, that are revealed like this one:


Even small changes like shown above, make women feel insecure. Allowing us to think these women presented in magazines have no imperfections themselves, which even further leads the common woman to believe she shouldn’t have any either. One Dove advertisement, eight years ago, revealed to many what really happens to some photos in advertisements. The video goes through one models photo shoot. When the photo is chosen the editor elongates her neck, makes her lips and eyes bigger, and makes her jaw lines more pronounced. This happens to photographs of models constantly.
