Abstract
Body images surround us, appearing both online across diverse media platforms and offline on street walls, in magazines, museums, and other spaces. This constant presence raises the question of whether these representations truly reflect the diversity of humanity or simply perpetuate stereotypes.
One of the underlying messages I perceive is that "there is no right way to age." Societal standards often dictate how individuals should appear at various life stages, promoting the notion of remaining forever young and fostering a prescribed, rather than autonomous, life experience.
This thesis explores the author's perspective on aging and examines how the passage of time and aging can be visually depicted. Through the medium of video installation, and by fostering intergenerational dialogue and dialogue between different age selves, the work aims to offer new insights into the visualization of aging and the passage of time.
