My work is called: „body_cult".


The concept of beauty is becoming increasingly important. Everyone would have liked nice and many people are trying every means to obtain beauty. There are certainly not many who would reject this attribute, because in our society, beauty has a high priority. Constantly we are confronted by the media, in schools, workplaces and even in our spare time. The
people who are beauty attract attention, the others will not be notice. This is probably one of the reasons that beauty is so sought after. I ask myself the question whether the beauty has an impact on all sectors of our society and though the sport is involved. In this context, I examine whether the beauty has more weight in the public than the performance. On the phenomenon of „bodybuilding“ can best investigate this hypothesis.

Definition - bodybuilding: Modern methods of physical appearance and perfection of the body shape through give-muscle training with special devices.

The main criteria in a competition are: muscle mass (mass), definition) (hardness, proportions and Muscularity - in women is also rated their aesthetics and their femininity. This evaluation is done by a jury must be out of symmetry, harmony, the build, the smooth muscle development, the overall impression and the presentation to assess the athletes. In this sport, the performance is not decisive, but its outward appearance, the consistency and composition of the body, where this does not meet the standard of beauty and reflects a new extreme, bizarre conception of beauty. The weight work is performed at the core of this sport. The body of the athlete is a sign of more or less successful body transformations.
The athlete needs a lot of self discipline, which manifests itself in the patient, systhematischen training work. Bodybuilding, a total transformation of the body: the specific treatment needs of each part of the body, every muscle is worked on well-planned manner with Kraftmaschienen. Visible results can be achieved not only through systematic training, but through planning and regulation of all other areas of life such as eg Nutrition plans, controlled conviviality, a for training and competition-oriented fun times and strict personal hygiene. Reducing the tightening of the diet, healthy diets for eduktion contest diet to a minimum, the remaining fat tissue and therefore the muscles is to bring out more clearly and deffinierter to characterize the ultimate stage in the struggle for beauty.

In my images I will show no awareness „stage sets“ to give a glimpse behind the scenes in backstage areas at competitive events, too. As a stylistic device, I made use of subjective documentary photography.
