This great shot was made by Hikari Kesho for a project regarding body art and as the cover image of the Rabarama Skin Art Festival.

I always called my sculptures “my creatures” and thank to body art and a great photographer here I am merged with my iconic work “Transmutazione”.

I believe in the art and the body because our society is moving towards a total annihilation of the body even if many would say that this is not true because the body is so present in mass media and culture. This is the point: it is really present but as a product, not as the “temple of life” that it is.
I think that a way to contrast this is to refer strongly to the harmony and beauty of the human body, to make its inner value explicit: the body is the symbol of life, feelings, relationships, identity.
If it is treated like an object and a product, well, all Life will become a product, together with sentiments and spirituality (sadly we see that this is really happening right now).

    Rabarama is a sign of the times we are living, transposed into the "skin" of her humanoids. Her giant sculptures have appeared in the streets and public places of Florence, Beijing, Paris, London, Miami, Shanghai, Pisa, Venice and others, to ask the eternal question: "Who are you man?"and adding, "You are changing because of technology, science, knowledge. Do you want to ride the mutation or to be dominated? ".
