This is Joana Vasconcelos' work. The piece is called "A Noiva" (The Bride). Just Google both terms and you'll find out.
I've seen it live and the piece is very well crafted. From a distance you go like "Wow!"

Obviously the social critic is present in most of her work; specially when it comes to criticizing the fragile position of woman in society.
This piece in particular plays with the overall negative reaction of people when they approach and see the gorgeous piece is actually made out of tampons, something that whether we want it or not, played a big role for woman's emancipation in society and still today, in several countries of the world, is banned or shrouded in taboo.

I saw the final movie and it was really something special. Had to hold my tears several times.

I'm trying - without success - to find a non-youtube version of the german war video since it excludes my country for copyright issues...

If anyone knows, please do tell!
