Popis: This study addresses the influence of images on the body reconfigurations in contemporary times. To draw an initial understanding of it, it is presented a critical evaluation of three phenomena: the imperative of the perfect physique, the impeccable skin an esthetic and the logic of the body as a commodity. This analysis seeks to establish connections between these processes, placing them as components of the complex web that is the current visual culture.
