I, THE NIPPLE
Film Description:
I ,The Nipple speaks about the issue of unequal censoring of the natural world, in this case, the nipple. This sparked movements such as the "Free the Nipple Movement" which raised awareness on this issue with the intention of removing the taboo of exposed female nipples. Violence and swearing are allowed in the media but not the female anatomy which can often restrict educational content in regards to breast cancer awareness or breastfeeding. "Free The Nipple" campaign is part of a larger mission to reclaim women’s bodies, sexuality and safety. The campaign's main focus is on equality and empowerment of all human beings. “Sex might be more liberated, but nakedness is not yet democratic”. It’s not about normalising nudity but about normalising the body. People forget we are originally naked.
Bio:
Corina Andrian is a Romanian surrealist writer/director currently based in London. Her artistic background traces back to an early rigorous professional dance training which evolved into a gradual yearning to expand within the visual realm. The two dimensions complement each other in the present where movement and image blend into a synaesthetic visual unity. To her, watching does not only involve seeing but a whole embodied intelligence. In her genre-defying explorations bordering the tragic with a tasteful dark humour, Corina constantly provokes the functions of the visual. This has shaped her unique and unmistakable style of surrealism which reorganises the most mundane, imperfect and fragile elements of everyday life in an unfamiliar way until it becomes something completely new.
She has avidly directed 16 internationally screened and awarded fiction, experimental and dance shorts, a documentary featuring Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch Company and a sold-out physical theatre show. A retrospective of Corina’s entire oeuvre will be exhibited in September with ZacharyElias Gallery in New York.
