but first off we are constantly confronted in the media by the ideal figure of a woman but there is no such thing of course as we all know that has some very witty instagram as have been addressing this subject with their own versions of famous posts or perhaps undressing the subject will be a better way of explaining it i colleague melissa holroyd will be here to explain all after this. just an average day at the beach with britney spears on instagram. and he is serious barber's version. feels trillion is hailed as one of the funniest women on the net with her parodies she holds up a mirror to the glittering illusory world of social media. and she's not alone melody mitchell berger from hamburg also wants to see more real
8:46 pm
content on instagram. she wants to highlight unrealistic beauty standards on the social media platform and show that the vast majority of women don't look like models so the former fashion editor strips off and posts her unfiltered photos. it's not usual in our society that we are exposed to people and especially to women who are all shapes and sizes we don't often see them in advertising or in magazines or on television shows and it's a bit self empowering to say hey i'm here and i'm doing this and i'm not going to go away you. know the michelle burger has had enough and some displays of so-called beauty she admires celeste by a revealing humor that has taken aim at both celebrities and models alike.
8:47 pm
and she's being inspired under the hash tag celeste challenge accepted she's now posting her own parodies. my colleague melissa holroyd is with us now i mean i suppose it's quite an accolade really when people stop copy yeah she's been a big name for a couple of years now she's also an actor she's a comedian she's published a book she's going on to or at the end of the year with a stand up show i'm her party's instagram parody started in twenty fifteen is the top of experiment and you know and they do very well as you can just say they highlight the absurdity of a photo and it was with terrific results and she's got a lot of all of us yeah five point six million followers i'm still bent is a lot and constantly adding new posts are believed as well yes she's pretty active
8:48 pm
she's pretty active and she works with a lot of big names this is doing a parody of cindy crawford in a pepsi commercial. cindy crawford is a big fan of hers by the way. she also works a lot with husband does well yeah they would do a lot of things together she calls him husband and he calls himself also her husband here they are hard at work well actually that's them isn't it then there's the that's the that's the sort of original part yes it would be yes yes baba has really tapped into a wealth of material things to my printer and instagram i mean there is this there's hope this is no just some areas that took the choose from and some of the people i mean city for photography not funds some people getting upset. to be out there but there are also plenty of people who have been parodied who have started
8:49 pm
to follow her and also but if people have been parodied who have then contacted her and taken part in the next parody there are also lots of models who say that they deliberately post absurd scenarios with the hope that so list will do a parody of them let's see let's have a look at the serious side of this is despite progress on women's rights in recent years i mean when it comes to women's figures there's not much give and take a man can walk around with a pot belly and get away with it a woman call. yeah i mean i think also in recent years i would say that beauty standards have also been raised and there are plenty of studies that show that social media platforms like instagram ah contributing to an obsession and an anxiety when it comes to appearances in society what about briefly these face filters that the they always make people look like models and yet they've also come under a lot of scrutiny and have been calls for social media platforms to do something
8:50 pm
about it instagram has responded in part to that they might be they might be removing their like in the future what you mean that like the you can like something you know so that you can't see the likes of that sort of drone who says oh see there's going to be lots more about this in the midst of all right thanks very much there. museum in switzerland is staging the most ambitious exhibition ever devoted to pablo picasso's early works the so-called blue rose periods. paintings from these six years are considered some of the finest most compelling examples of modern and it did in fact set the scene for him to become the greatest artist of the twentieth century. i wanted to become a painter became picasso. that meant becoming the art genius of the twentieth century modernist cubist classicist rhodes deconstructs of women and peacemaker

reputed to be reinvented. because he could. but there were moments of doubt pain and sorrow in early works in the six years of the blue rose period images that have burnt away into the collective consciousness fruit reproductions for calendars and postcards works were not revolutionary but rather emotive of a quite existential. cancer and he started with me on the contrary i believe. what we actually want to show in this exhibition is that cubism didn't just suddenly as a radical break in work but that this is heralded important themes and motifs in them and then in the rose period your the. world exhibition in one

thousand nine hundred. paris in the bella park the metropolis was an inspiration in one thousand you. had been accustomed to success but now experienced hardship living as a bohemian commuting between paris and spain when his best friend committed suicide his works darkened butt. he had an important part of his artistic identity his signature. in the early years in search of recognition picasso identified himself with outsiders even erotic motifs seemed more bad and sentimental he paints prostitutes visits women's prisons studies misery he gives and the poor a face he seeks out suffering it's a phase of sensitivity even the portrait of an early lover madalena is unsettling. he is still reliant on the melancholic symbolic power of the color.

of the beginning of the rose period the melancholy face. the harlequin remains as the artist's alter ego reflects the antiabortion a bastion of freedom from social conventions. early work were all we had we probably wouldn't be talking about it this way today. but fortunately he co-founded cubism after the blue and rose periods for. spring nineteen zero seven is the turning point castro's inhibitions fall away and the laws of traffic composition follow he destroys beauty in favor of truth and becomes the genius. changed his style many times in his life style of design where anything goes out of

hearing that less is more all the famous bile house cry that form follows function fed up with all those clear lines the minimalism of it all well the twenty seven is well designed day and here's something that embraces an abundance of design and lots of cars. welcome to maximalist. carlos' more shapes more patterns to misplaying embodies these mantras she's decorated her apartment in london in the maximalist style long live abundance decorate until you drop. so this is my colorful policy and color makes me happy saw a key thing with some of this movement is mixing mixing color mixing pattern and

bringing together a lot of objects. up there we have bottles and there is not just one not just two there's like twenty two so rather than be tane i think. take it to the. interior designer emily henson believes you can never be too bold when it comes to decorating and she says so just books. so i have noticed a change from neutral tasteful almost like scandinavian style interior towards more colorful pattern full. i think much of this is about breaking the rules i don't think it has to be i think it's has to be your taste. growing number of shops in london or adopting them more is more style and carrying a range of fun pieces from across the world. designer abigail and her now lives in a nineteenth century terraced house a trademark song

a dark color extravagant accessories and in your face texture combinations maximalist a great many white sprite design convention the star you pick can impact on the feel of a room. so the rules for me. don't use more than three or four colors in a row because otherwise it just is too schizo for that for the bright. light seeing is fundamental text and pattern are a bit like a hope and a spice for me and then the biggest thing that scares people the most. is playing around with sky. launch of pieces in a smaller space create a fairy tale atmosphere is it just a short lived find or has minimalism met its match. for those are looking to express their creativity to the. maximum ism could be the way it should go.
