FAT HER

FAT HER. Editorial design & art research project. 96 pages.

The design of this book is articulated from a conceptual starting point. It plays with the emptying/filling of voids by means of white spaces where the eye rests and others where you see a deliberate attempt to fill the voids, to ease horror vacui.

FAT HER is a project that starts from a self-image and body fat obsession which allowed me to revisit the origins of the constant thoughts around body image. I began a similar simultaneous quest between this and another subject I had never spoken about, that of the father (as a pronoun and as a subject).

The search for ‘father’ began as a detective game where the goal was to find out how correlated my obsessive history and rejection with my body would be with the history of my father’s non-history (his absent story). I do not have a father, I am the daughter of capitalism.
