Beauty through a Contemporary Lens
After exploring love in 2024, physical beauty is the second thematic exhibition at Bozar focusing on what motivates us as humans. Through the lens of photography and video, made from the 1960s to today, this exhibition explores how artists depict and challenge established norms of who is considered beautiful. Unveiling the pressures and excess of what it means to be beautiful today, the works in this exhibition offer a diverse range of propositions, from the critical to the emancipatory.
Bozar Arcade, the space dedicated to interactive digital artworks and video games in Bozar, will be integrated into the exhibition.
