photo In one of her works, entitled "Show," Beecroft features 20 naked and skimpily clad models standing awkwardly on spiky stiletto heels. The models never make eye contact and rarely move, save the occasional shift of their wafer-like bodies. While some might be inclined to view Beecroft's work as objectifying women, the artist explains "Show" as her way of expressing her own painful and pathological obsession with thinness and her chronic desire to be fat-free.
