“What do I look like? How do others see me? How important is appearance anyways? The conflict between self-image, one’s own body, and its limits is a hot topic among adolescents. The special program “Bodycheck” presents films that deal with these issues from a young person’s perspective.”
The DOK Spotters talked to Kim Busch, who curated the special program. In this Interview she tells us what the topics body and mew Media have in common and describes her image of the perfect body. But does that really exist?
