Curator guided tour of "Picture Perfect"
Enjoy a guided tour of Picture Perfect. Beauty through a Contemporary Lens, led by curator Christel Tsilibaris.
This tour offers insight into Bozar’s new thematic exhibition, which follows its exploration of love in 2024 with a sharp, timely focus on physical beauty, one of the driving forces of our human imagination.
Through photography and video works from the 1960s to today, the exhibition examines how artists have shaped, questioned, and subverted dominant ideals of beauty. Moving between critique and emancipation, the works reveal the pressures, performances, and excesses that define what it means to be “beautiful” in contemporary society.
