Nina Gazaniol Vérité

Based in Marseille, Nina Gazaniol Vérité holds degrees in Performing Arts and Journalism, studies the hijacking of television through performance art in her dissertation "Don't hate the Media, Be the media", interns at ARTE and approaches experimental cinema, all the while getting involved in multiple transdisciplinary projects. In 2013, she joined the Formation supérieure pour la création en espace public (FAI AR / Marseille), where she developed her interest in architecture, territories, notions of space and inhabitants. Since 2015, she has been imagining various projects while cultivating a valuable relationship with research and writing. She regularly collaborates with different groups and artists while pursuing her own work, at the crossroads of video and spatial arts, performance and documentary, questioning a plastic writing rooted in reality. And vice versa.

Women who undergo cosmetic surgery are my subject. Who are they? What are their lives like? What do the operations they undergo actually look like? How do they live after these operations? Why do they resort to cosmetic surgery? Is cosmetic surgery a form of submission? Is it a form of freedom? Are they "false women" or "real women"?

Cosmetic surgery is becoming increasingly commonplace. This makes me want to take an interest. Cosmetic surgery can be divided into two categories: surgery to "look better" and surgery to "feel better". I'm interested in the first category, that of "looking better", which is perhaps morally and politically less acceptable and less justifiable. Some studies claim that women's choice of cosmetic surgery is often linked to questions of seduction, love and sometimes even pleasure (including the pleasure of others). Perhaps it's also a story of lies and violence, blood and beauty, power and self-assertion.
