The Scale is a physical representation of body dysmorphia. As one art critic once noted: “Oh dear, this is my worst nightmare come to life”. Undoubtedly, you don’t need to struggle with your weight nor weight stigma to get an uneasy feeling from this readymade. In this piece, the artist expresses his own struggle with weight stigma, body image and his own personal views on being “fat”. De Bretagne invites us all to explore our own fears and insecurities.
From The Stuff Of Nightmares Collection comes a piece conceived to highlight signs of depression – the thoughts we get in our mind when depressed – and the decisive action required to overcome them.
The readymade offers a glimpse inside the head of someone struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. It offers a perspective into the kind of thoughts our mind produces when we are struggling with these mental health challenges.
