\nFresh from her massive live show in Berlin, Bad Gal Riri\u00a0 posed yesterday next to large headless cut-out of herself at KW. The music and fashion sensation<\/a> was rocking a fabulous bright green ensemble featured in Vetements’ Spring 2016 runway and it was all over her Snapchat (@badgal).
\nThe cut-out in question is an artwork by Colombian artist Juan Sebasti\u00e1n Pel\u00e1ez, whose piece was comissioned for the 9th Berlin Biennale<\/a>. Entitled \u201cEwaipanoma (Rihanna)<\/a>\u201d the mammoth artwork was already one of the Biennale’s most Instagrammed\u00a0pieces. It features Rihanna\u2019s headless body in her trademark bikini style with her face photoshopped on her chest in reference to early European explorers\u2019 depictions of Caribbean natives as Ac\u00e9falos<\/em>. In an interview with 032c <\/a>the artist explains that the piece is a critique of advertisement perpetuating minorities as the “Other”. Rihanna has certainly proved there’s no other like her with a 75-show world tour, and “Work” breaking the Beatles’ record of total number of weeks spent at number one in the US.
