Eduardo Blidner intimately explores a subculture of women body builders found in his home city of Buenos Aries. This exhibit provides a rare look at female body builders twisting and flexing their muscles in the nude. Each athlete is photographed in a straight on honesty that only raw black and white film can translate.

Eduardo Blidner says he has found a relationship to the sculptures of the Renaissance with these women. Eduardo has come to think of the rippled bodies as sculptures on to themselves and the woman body builder as her own artist. Each of the images in the exhibit challenges the viewer who may have the more common concept of feminine beauty and strength.
