Mannequin
Challenge is the new sensation of the year (if we talk about popular flashmobs of
course). This viral trend took us by surprise in October 2016, and it main
point is as follow: in the frameworks of the trend people pose themselves as
mannequins and it is better if more and more people take part of it… more
people, more mannequins and more entertaining, yeah!. If you want to
participate you only need to pose as a mannequin and stay freeze for a few
minutes on the spot in some natural pose of course.
Mannequin
Challenge is entertaining and funny, because while people is posing a camera
man is moving at the moment going round the participants. And this simple trick
give us that fantastic sensation of moving around froze time (my beautiful
fantasy when I was a little girl), that is the magic.
Frozen
friends in natural poses + a camera man friend + recording camera going around
all the frozen friends in natural poses + social media account + upload the
video = Your proprio Mannequin Challenge, Voila!.
Many famous
sports teams captured their own versions of M.Ch.: Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo
Bills, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, etc. Hollywood stars of course as
Beyoncé, Adele, Michelle Williams, and Hillary Clinton took part of one during
her campaign.
If we talk
about numbers, at Instagram the #MannequinChallenge has more than 600,000
posts.
If you
think M.Ch. is one of the most important social – viral- human expression of last
years, let me tell you something my dear friend. At art we can find Mimoplastic
(1770-1815), also known as attitudes and it is a performance art genre
depicting works of art by use of mime specially gestures and draping. It was
popularized by Emma Lady Hamilton and became very popular among upperclass European
women, yes…
