A photographic exhibition about resistance, self-staging, and the political dimension of the body
In a world that decides every day which bodies deserve visibility—and which should remain unseen – this exhibition stands as an unmistakable act of resistance. It shows the body of a fat woman. Unveiled. Self-determined. Poetic. Angry. These photographs do more than depict her – they speak as her. The body is not an object, but a subject: a speaking, thinking, feeling body that refuses to be shaped by the silent norms of a fatphobic society.
The protagonist of this series is both artist and medium. She uses her body as canvas, as stage, as weapon. Her poses are not coquettish, but confrontational; her nudity is not an invitation, but a provocation. What the viewer believes they are unmasking in her, ends up unmasking themselves. These images are not meant to please. They are meant to force – to look, to question, to endure.
Because being fat is not a personal failure. It is a cultural taboo-breaker. In a society that equates thinness with discipline, beauty, and morality, the fat body becomes a symbol of “too much” – too loud, too demanding, too visible. This exhibition resists the subtle violence of erasure, diet culture, and medical reductionism. It holds up a mirror to the viewer: What do you see – and what were you taught to see?
Accompanied by fragments of text, performative elements, and objects that evoke the general experience of “being too much,” a space emerges that is more than a gallery: a site of self-assertion, an act of rebellion, a manifesto of radical body acceptance. The exhibition positions itself as an invitation to dialogue – not about, but with the fat body. It asks: What does it mean to belong to yourself? And who gets to make art – and out of what?

FIGHT THE SHAME!
Introducing the founder:
Lisa-Maria was born in Würzburg and graduated as DRESSMAKER (René Lezard GmbH) and FASHION DESIGNER (B.A. at HTW). For ten years now she lives and works in Berlin. By making costumes for theater, movies and performances and working as seamstress and leader of several UPCYCLING-Workshops she developed a passion for sustainability and a punk way of designing.
Moreover by struggling with her Binge-Eating-Disorder since being a child, she shares her therapy-learnings and her NUDE-ART on social media, to encourage and help people empowering while being stigmatized for their body and building awareness for this psychological disease and the FAT-PHOBIA in our heads.
Because education saves lives.
