Abstract

The present work brings together three different films for printing, intended for Ducilo’s brand advertisement and produced by Ángela Vassallo in her time at Cícero Publicidad from 1969 to 1978. Currently, sheltered by IDA`s Fundation, these pieces reveal new readings crossed by social and gender studies. Within the circuit of consumption and the exhibition of products, notions of erotism and emancipation rise and fall, dismantling the construction of the idea of being a woman. By revising the representation practices, nuances between design and artistic pieces and the enforcement and the rupture in the visual configuration of the feminine will be revealed in the analysis.
