3 Chromate Metal Rings
90 cm x 60 cm x 90 cm

    90-60-90 represents the materialization of an ideal beauty canon,
a paradigm which started to be accepted in the mid 50’s and now
is a prescription to acquire a perfect female body. The work is based
on 3 metallic rings of 90cm, 60cm, and 90cm, respectively, aligned at
the same level of the measurements considered in beauty contests and
miss pageants.

Trough the realization of this work, several references taken from
influential thinkers and communities were explored. One of the cardinal
points that supports this work is the utopian dream of discovering a
universal language, a language that transcends the communicational
boundaries imposed by past and present cultures. In this sense, I
followed a mathematical path that has been crossed not only by
mathematicians but also by writers, artists, and intellectuals.

For many cultures and religions, three denotes divine perfection. In
90-60-90 the unity of the three rings corresponds to the unity of every
circle, which also manifests as a trinity: center, radius and circumference;
as Honoré de Balzac mentioned, “three is the formula of all creation.”

By making this work, beauty was translated from an ideal form into a
geometric structure, where subjectivity and superfluity vanished. According
to Michelangelo, beauty is “the purgation of the superfluous,” while Aristotle
defines beauty as “order, symmetry and precision.” As a result, 90-60-90
surpasses the ephemeral condition of the body and accesses the everlasting
level of intellect.
