Hypocrateen 107 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 May I just say, the expression in her eyes in all of these leaked outtakes and the ARTPOP promo-pic simply blow me away. She is somehow evoking the impression that she has never shown us that much of her, yet she seems more shielded and confident at the same time than she ever has. To me, it even feels like she has finally made some sort of inexpugnable peace within her soul that cannot be destroyed, hence why I also think it makes a lot of sense for the full-on nudity . She seems to bare it all; her body, her vulnerabilty, her trust in herself and her abilities, but it also feels like you cannot reach her, cannot attack her; it almost has some sort of surreal quality to it. Even though she is naked & wears really natural make-up ( blank canvas (?)), it doesn't feel like there is anything she doesn't want us to see because she doesn't need to hide anymore, if that makes any sense. Gaga is such a strong woman, wow! Btw, I'm fairly new here when it comes to posting on here as you can tell, But I've been lurking on this goddamn forum for more than a year and a half before, daily... So, I just wanted to say hello! :shy: I like your explanation! Welcome to GGD! :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nayru 280 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) You make a lot of sense Welcome to the forums! Thank you for the warm welcome! :heart: Btw, what do you all think is behind the flaky mannquin hand? Is she referring to those lyrics she once posted about hybrids? A hybrid can withstand these things. My heart can beat with bricks and strings. And if that's the case, do you think that this might be a shooting for the app and the possibly accompanying short films she mentioned for that particular song? Initially, I imagined her disassembling an old, rusty mannequin version of herself during that shoot. It could be some sort of metaphor for her reinvention and a twisted commentary on how the public and the fanbase perceives her (or rather the image of the popstar) during this new era. She completely positions herself anew in the public eye (the minimalistic fashion during the last month, the "new" hair, new music etc.) and sort of toys with the old image (the rusted hand of the mannequin), and what she has left us with so far. I know I'm reaching quite a bit, but everything we've got so far just makes me really excited Edited July 21, 2013 by Nayru Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nayru 280 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Welcome! :) Thanks Dress me, I'm your mannequin... Makes sense as she's naked. Also, it plays with the idea of us controlling her I love that! This is actually one of the aspects, besides the music, I'm the most curious about considering the new era. How far can she really push that concept of self creation through the recreation of idealised & externally controlled visions made by the public. I really hope that she uses a few of those sketch submissions and that she has not in fact completely forgotten about them. I think it's got something to do with the app. I hope so :nooo: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
