Post-butt investigates the rise and glory of the ass in the media

Communications student Melani De Luca explores the 21st century obsession with the ass in her latest project post-butt. The volume collects all the themes explored in the art installation focusing on the virality of images in today’s society. With the increasing production of visual material, the relationship between image and reality has become very complex. This book includes researching contemporary lyrics containing the female bottom, completes the project as part of her studies into information design, and includes mapping a narrative among pornographic imagery. Featuring Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Guy Debord, Beyonce, Amy Schumer, Kara Walker, Josephine Baker, Kim K. Saartje Baartman, Amalia Ulman, and many others.
