Holland Doc 24

On November 7th Holland Doc and Breaking presented 12XL from documentary maker Winnie Bauwens, student at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent.

Winnie Bauwens: "'The Fat Ugly Man' does not really exist but is a perception based on a general assumption. But if you look closer, every person that is (a little bit) too chubby or obesed has its story and its beauty."

In 12XL Bauwens let twelve people talk about their experiences with obesity. Meanwhile, the gaze of the viewer focused on the fat body and its (ambiguous) beauty. The story is interrupted by self-made cell-recordings of their eating habits.
