Agnès Varda
, it marked yet another celebration of the 87-year-old’s remarkable career. Last year LACMA dedicated a blockbuster show to her – Agnès Varda in Californialand, taking place in the city that both inspired and took a starring role in her work. Film stills and photography were punctuated by quotes like “Poetry not Poverty”, “Hollywood isn’t a place, it’s a state of mind” and “Let’s just quit fucking and have the Cosmic Climax.
continues to gain traction; “Throw out your razor, Throw out your bra….Release your inhibitions. Feel the rain on your skin,” it instructs. A similar sentiment lies at the core of Varda’s 1975 work Réponse de femmes . In a short that feels as urgent today as it ever did, women – young, old, mothers and the non-maternally inclined – demonstrate a depth and breadth to womanhood beyond the limited ways it was portrayed at that time.
However, perhaps the truly radical “Mamita Punk” approach to personal style would be to not only tune out the majority of fashion media, but to take the further provocative step of choosing a look – as Varda chose her defining hairstyle – based on the very fact “it was not the fashion.”
