David LaChapelle - Mr. Olympia: Headless Bodies

David LaChapelle's work Mr. Olympia: Headless Bodies is a pigment print on Dibond made in a limited edition of 10 copies and 3 artist's proofs.

The protagonist of this work is the phenomenon of bodybuilding, which originated in Europe in the late 19th century. This discipline involves specific training with overloads and a very restricted diet to achieve excellent physical fitness, both aesthetically and competitively. 

This work features six bodybuilders backstage on a stage, preparing to perform during a competition. Of them, however, their heads are hidden: only the bodybuilders' shiny, muscular bodies are shown. The heads are hidden by the dark blue curtain. Once again LaChapelle highlights how outward beauty is a priority in contemporary society, so much so that it obscures what would be right to praise, namely the mind of each of us.

Inserting himself masterfully between the dreamlike and hyperrealist dimensions, LaChapelle makes a subtle social critique. The scene comes across as surreal to the viewer, dominated by bright and vivid hues, emphasizing the critical trend of modern society in which what matters is the showiness of gestures and what is in fashion at the moment.

The work Mr. Olympia: Headless Bodies was made in 1998 and measures 46x63 cm.
