"A smile that shakes the inside,

You can see a woman, another woman, any woman or maybe a man.

Then a memory, a hope and a beast that I can hardly tame.

Occasionally some rare trace of poetry set in a genre that drools its place. "

 

DESCRIPTION

MISS

The act of "smile" captured my attention during the reseal for MissXX.

Smiling is one of the most common and, at the same time, one of the most ambiguous and

mysterious action that people do.

Smiling brings man back to direct descent from the animal that grinds his teeth as

a sign of a possible attack.

Duchenne smile (spontaneous), Coquettish, Shy, Flirty, Interested, Embarrassed, Forced...

Smiling is the first act of socialization and it is almost always accompanied by an internal emotional state.

The "smile" is a multi-purpose expression. It can evoke sweetness or be terrifying.

MissXX shows this internal emotional state during different "normal situation".

MissXX is a smiling woman, she shows the secret behind her smile.

 

XX

I defined my miss "XX" because the gender is never totally clear.

There are many wrong details that allow a reading of the ambiguous character.

The intent is to not focus on a specific identity, but MissXX tries to be an ensamble of different identities that coexist in the same body.

 

Miss XX shows his internal side through a very concrete body, which leads to the extreme.

The constant work of production leads to a gradual depletion of the ego, a way to arrive in a fragility condition.

This will be the moment where MissXX takes off her mask and people were looking at her just like a woman.

In one side MissXX can be seen as an object of "evocative production", in the other side she goes throw a path of a woman lost in the maze of something, to approach a bit more to herself.
