Wall considers these two large-scale works to be his first successful attempts to challenge the norms of photography through the use of transparencies mounted in lightboxes. In doing so, he references both popular culture (the illuminated signs of cinema and advertising hoardings) and the sense of scale he admires in classical painting. As three-dimensional objects, the lightboxes take on a sculptural presence, impacting on the viewer's physical sense of orientation in relationship to the work.

The Destroyed Room 1978

My first pictures like The Destroyed Room emerged from a re-encounter with nineteenth-century art', Wall has said. Here, the work in question is The Death of Sardanapalus 1827 by Eugène Delacroix, which depicts the Assyrian monarch on his deathbed, commanding the destruction of his possessions and slaughter of his concubines in a last act of defiance against invading armies.

Wall echoes Delacroix's composition, with its central sweeping diagonal and sumptuous palette of blood reds, while acknowledging its staged atmosphere by re-composing the scene as a roughly fabricated stage-set, absent of any players. 'Through the door you can see that it's only a set held up by supports, that this is not a real space, this is no-one's house,' he has commented. Though clearly a woman's bedroom, the cause of the violence is unexplained, leaving the viewer to speculate on the sequence of events.

Picture for Women 1979

Picture for Women was inspired by Edouard Manet's masterpiece A Bar at the Folies-Bergères 1881-2. In Manet's painting, a barmaid gazes out of frame, observed by a shadowy male figure. The whole scene appears to be reflected in the mirror behind the bar, creating a complex web of viewpoints. Wall borrows the internal structure of the painting, and motifs such as the light bulbs that give it spatial depth. The figures are similarly reflected in a mirror, and the woman has the absorbed gaze and posture of Manet's barmaid, while the man is the artist himself. Though issues of the male gaze, particularly the power relationship between male artist and female model, and the viewer's role as onlooker, are implicit in Manet's painting, Wall updates the theme by positioning the camera at the centre of the work, so that it captures the act of making the image (the scene reflected in the mirror) and, at the same time, looks straight out at us.

The seam running down the middle of the photograph is apparent in some of Wall's large-scale pictures, where two pieces of transparency are joined. The fact that it serves as a reminder of the artifice of picture making is something that Wall has come to appreciate: 'The join between the two pictures brings your eye up to the surface again and creates a dialectic that I always enjoyed and learned from painting...a dialectic between depth and flatness. Sometimes I hide it, sometimes I don't', he has said.

Adaptación del texto Beben de Guillermo Calderón, que ocurre justo después del terremoto de 2010 en Chile. Un grupo de voluntarios viene ayudar las víctimas del desastre. Con intención terapéutica, les cuentan a los niños perjudicados por la catástrofe, el cuento "Terremoto en Chile", escrito por Heinrich Von Kleist en 1807, en el cual una mujer escapa por poco de su ejecución, mientras un terremoto destruye la ciudad en 1647 en Santiago de Chile. Ella, a pesar de todo, será asaltada por la tragedia y atacada por una multitud desesperada y furiosa.

Sin Fronteras abre una reflexión sobre las fisuras de una sociedad después de una catástrofe natural, poniendo en evidencia el precario equilibro de lo
cotidiano. El espectador es transportado de un universo realista a uno grotesco y cómico, íntimo y profundo, en el cual los voluntarios reevalúan sus motivaciones y maneras de actuar, mientras se dan cuenta de los conflictos interiores que les habitan frente al sufrimiento que puede vivir todo individuo.

THOMAS RICHARDS

Breve historia del Workcenter

Considerado uno de los más importantes e influyentes profesionales teatrales del siglo XX, Jerzy Grotowski revolucionó el teatro contemporáneo en múltiples maneras. Grotowski cambió el modo en el que practicantes y teóricos teatrales de occidente concebían la relación audiencia-actor, la puesta en escena y el oficio del actor. Quizá más conocido por su noción de "teatro pobre", la práctica de Grotowski se extiende más allá de los confines del teatro
convencional adoptando una exploración sistemática y a largo plazo de las posibilidades del ser humano dentro de un contexto performativo.

El Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski fue fundado en 1986 con la invitación del Centro per la Sperimentazione e la Ricerca Teatrale de Pontedera, Italia (hoy: Fondazione Pontedera Teatro) y de sus directores Roberto Bacci y Carla Pollastrelli. Grotowski en el Workcenter desarrolló, durante 13 años hasta su muerte en 1999, una línea de "investigación performativa" conocida como "Arte como Vehículo" (Art as Vehicle).
Dentro de esta investigación creativa, trabajó muy de cerca con Thomas Richards a quien nombró su "colaborador esencial", por lo que posteriormente cambiará el nombre del Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski para incluir el de Richards. Durante esos años de intenso trabajo práctico, Grotowski trasmitió a Richards el fruto de su vida de investigación, lo que llamó "el aspecto interno del trabajo". Grotowski confió en Thomas Richards y en Mario Biagini, un miembro clave del equipo del Workcenter desde sus inicios y actualmente Director Asociado, su legado, nombrándolos como únicos representantes, incluyendo su obra completa de trabajos escritos, especificando con esta designación una confirmación de su "familia de trabajo". Desde el fallecimiento de Grotowski en 1999, Richards y Biagini han continuado el desarrollo de la investigación performativa del Workcenter en nuevas direcciones.

Actualmente, bajo el amparo del Teatro Nazionale della Toscana, el Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards hospeda tres equipos creativos: el Focused Research Team in Art as Vehicle y el Workcenter Studio in Residence, dirigidos por Thomas Richards, y el Open Program dirigido por Mario Biagini.

When the novel, "Room," was published, Emma Donoghue gave an interview to The Guardian, in which she revealed that her story was inspired by the dark true story of Elisabeth Fritzl, a woman who was held captive by her father, Josef Fritzl, for 24 years. As Donoghue takes pains to clarify in the interview, her novel was "triggered," by this story.

Donoghue explained, "To say Room is based on the Fritzl case is too strong. I'd say it was triggered by it. The newspaper reports of Felix Fritzl [Elisabeth's son], aged five, emerging into a world he didn't know about, put the idea into my head. That notion of the wide-eyed child emerging into the world like a Martian coming to Earth: it seized me."

The Fritzl case, which occurred in Amstetten, Austria, received widespread media attention, just as we see happen with the discovery of Joy and Jack in "Room." The Guardian reports that Elisabeth began being sexually abused by her father as early as age 11 and was locked in the cellar at age 18 where she remained for 24 years. During those 24 years, she was repeatedly raped by Josef and gave birth to seven children. He was arrested in April 2008 - the same year that this shocking crime came to public attention - and eventually sentenced to life imprisonment (via CBS News).

Abstract

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES

The association between dietary patterns and depression has been reported but the results have been inconsistent. This study was conducted to investigate the association between dietary patterns and depression in middle-aged Korean adults.

SUBJECTS/METHODS

The participants were selected from a community-based cohort, a subset of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study. Depression was assessed using the Korean version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and those with a BDI score ≥ 16 were defined as having depression. The subjects' food intakes over the year preceding the survey were estimated by using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Dietary patterns were identified by using factor analysis. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess the association of dietary pattern with depression.

RESULTS

Among 3,388 participants, 448 (13.2%) were identified as having depression. We identified two major dietary patterns: 'Healthy' dietary pattern was characterized by high intakes of vegetables, soybeans, mushroom, seaweeds, white fish, shellfish and fruits and a low intake of white rice. 'Unhealthy' dietary pattern was characterized by high intakes of white rice, meats, ramen, noodles, bread and coffee and a low intake of rice with other grains. Compared with subjects in the lowest quartiles, those in the highest quartiles of the healthy dietary pattern had a significantly lower odds ratio (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.42-0.82, P for trend = 0.0037) after adjusting for potential confounders. In contrast, the unhealthy dietary pattern was negatively associated with depression (OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.19-2.28, P for trend = 0.0021).

CONCLUSION

This results suggest that a healthy dietary pattern (rich in vegetables, soybeans, mushroom, seaweeds, white fish, shellfish, and fruits) is associated with low risk of depression. Whereas an unhealthy dietary pattern (rich in white rice, meats, ramen, noodles, bread, and coffee) is associated with a high risk of depression in middle-aged Korean adults.

Keywords: Dietary pattern, depression, Factor analysis, Korean adults

INTRODUCTION

Depression is a psychiatric disorder and the burden of that disease is greater than any other single disease [ 1]. The World Health Organization has predicted that 300 million people have depressive symptoms [ 2]. In the 2014 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 6.7% of adults aged > 19 years had depression, as defined as a score on the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 of 10 or higher [ 3]. Depression is associated with a variety of social problems and is closely related to suicide, thus appropriate prevention strategies are needed [ 4].

To alleviate this health issue, studies have proposed that several nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acid, folate, vitamin B ₆, and vitamin B ₁₂, may help prevent depressive symptoms [ 5, 6, 7, 8]. However, since the effect of an individual nutrient on a disease is limited, a dietary pattern analysis method that evaluates the effect of the entire diet has been proposed [ 9, 10]. In a review paper, dietary patterns including the Mediterranean diet, the prudent diet pattern, and the pro-vegetarian diet pattern, were reported to reduce the risk of depression [ 11]. In an assessment of the individual dietary patterns and incidence of depression in middle-aged subjects, the Mediterranean diet was shown to be inversely associated with depression of middle-aged subjects in the PREDIMED randomized trial [ 12]. Also, the whole-food pattern (high intake of vegetables, fruits, and fish) was shown to be associated with decreased depression risk in middle-aged subjects [ 13]. On the other hand, dietary pattern and depression did not show any association in a large-scale cohort study of middle-aged US women [ 14]. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one study that conducted to examine the association between dietary pattern and depression in Korean adolescents [ 15]. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the association between dietary patterns and depression in Korean middle-aged adults.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS

Participants

The participants were selected from a community-based cohort of Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study; the design of that study has been described in detail previously [ 16]. In brief, Korean adults aged 40-69 years who lived in rural (Ansung) and urban (Ansan) areas were recruited from 2001 to 2002. Among the 10,030 participants, we selected 3,388 men and women who had completed the dietary questionnaire, and underwent screening for depression. A total of 6,642 participants were excluded for following reasons: did not attend first follow up examination (n = 2,515); no dietary data (n = 33); no depression screening data (n = 4,065); history of mental disorder (n = 7); outside of the recommended calorie cut-off range (< 500 and < 800 kcal or > 3,500 and > 4,000 kcal in women and men, respectively) (n = 22) [ 17]. Informed consent was obtained from all study participants. The data was provided National Biobank of Korea, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Republic of Korea (4845-301, 4851-302, and -307). The study protocol was approved by the Gachon University Institutional Review Board (1044396-201604-HR-028-01).

Screening for depression

For depression screening, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was administered. The presence of depression was determined based on the BDI score: normal subjects (BDI score range: 0-15) and depression subjects (BDI score range: 16-63). The validity of the BDI has been previously verified and a BDI score of 16 is the optimal cut-off score for Koreans [ 18].

Dietary assessment

The subjects' food intakes over the year preceding the survey were assessed by using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQFFQ) containing a list of 106 food items. The intake frequency of each food items was presented in nine categories: never or seldom, once a month, 2-3 times a month, 1-2 times a week, 3-4 times a week, 5-6 times a week, once a day, twice a day, and three or more times a day. The intake amount of each food items was classified into three categories: small, medium (1 serving), or large. The SQFFQ was previously validated by using 12-day diet record data of 124 subjects [ 19]. Nutrient intakes were calculated for each subject by using the seventh edition food composition tables provided by the Korean Nutrition Society [ 20].

Measurement of covariates

Information on various covariates such as general characteristics and lifestyle data were collected by using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The following is the list of covariates: age, marital status (married or other), exercise (yes or no), alcohol drinking (no or ex/current drinker), smoking (no or ex/current smoker), educational level (graduated elementary school, middle school, high school, or college or higher degree), family history of mental disorder (yes or no), sleep hours (≤ 5 hours, 5-6 hours, 6-7 hours, or ≥ 7 hours), chronic disease status such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases (yes or no).

Height and weight were measured to the nearest 0.1 cm and 0.1 kg, respectively, by trained staff using a scale and a wall-mounted extensometer. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as the weight in kilograms (kg)/height in meters (m) squared.

Statistical analysis

The characteristics of subjects are expressed as a percentage (categorical variables) or as mean and standard deviation values (continuous variables). Differences between groups were tested using the t-test for continuous variables and the chi-square test for categorical variables.

To reduce the complexity of the data, the 106 food items were categorized into 36 groups. In general, the food grouping was based on food and nutrient composition similarity (). Dietary patterns were derived using factor analysis (principal component) based on the 36 food groups of SQFFQ using PROC FACTOR. The factors were rotated via an orthogonal transformation to simplify the structure and to obtain greater interpretability. To determine the number of factors, we considered eigenvalues (> 2), scree test plots, and factor interpretability. The factor score for each pattern was calculated by summing intake of food groups weighted by factor loadings. Each subjects was then assigned a score for each of the identified patterns. Sujbects were divided into quartiles based on the factor score of each dietary pattern. We computed odds ratio (OR) values and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) using logistic regression. Multivariate models were adjusted for age, BMI, education level, smoking, alcohol drinking, exercise, sleep hours, chronic diseases status, marital status, family history of mental disorder, and total energy intake. Data were analyzed using SAS 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc. Cary, NC, USA) and statistical significance was accepted at P < 0.05.

Table 1

RESULTS

Dietary patterns of subjects

We identified two major dietary patterns by using factor analysis: healthy and unhealthy dietary patterns. The factor loadings associated with each of the 36 food groups for both of the dietary patterns in male and female subjects are presented in . A positive loading score means that the food group is positively associated with the dietary pattern whereas a negative loading score indicates an inverse association with the dietary pattern. On that basis, the healthy dietary pattern is characterized by high intakes of vegetables, soybeans, mushroom, seaweeds, white fish, shellfish and fruits and a low intake of refined rice. Similarly, the unhealthy dietary pattern was characterized by high factor loadings in refined rice, meats, ramen, other noodles, bread, and coffee and low factor loadings in rice with grains. Both male and female had similar dietary patterns.

Table 2

Prevalence of depression and general characteristics

A summary of the sociodemographic characteristics, health behavior, marital status, sleep hours, and BMI of normal and depression subjects are shown in . Among the 3,388 subjects, 448 (13.2%) were identified as having depression. There was a significantly greater age, more 'others' marital status, lower education level, less sleep hours, less exercise, and more having chronic diseases in subjects with depression than in normal subjects. In male, there were significant differences in age, marital status, education, and sleep hours between depression and normal subjects. In female, age, marital status, education, sleep hours, and chronic disease status were significantly different between the normal and depression groups.

Dietary patterns and depression

presents the OR and 95% CI of depression across quartiles of the healthy and unhealthy dietary patterns. Compared with the subjects in the lowest quartile of the healthy dietary pattern group, those in the highest quartile had a significantly lower odds ratio (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.42-0.82, P for trend = 0.0037 for all subjects, OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.35-0.98, P for trend = 0.0359 for male, OR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.42-0.99, P for trend = 0.1179 for female) after adjustment for age, BMI, exercise, smoking, alcohol drinking, marital status, education, sleep hours, family history of mental disorder, total energy intake and chronic disease status. In addition, the OR for the presence of depression in the highest quartile of the unhealthy dietary pattern group was significantly high compared to that in the lowest quartile as a reference (OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.19-2.28, P for trend = 0.0021 for all subjects, OR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.03-2.80, P for trend = 0.0621 for male, OR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.01-2.24, P for trend = 0.0104 for female).

DISCUSSION

We conducted this study to determine whether dietary patterns derived from food group intake are associated with the presence of depression in middle-aged Korean adults. In this study, a 'healthy' dietary pattern (high intakes of vegetables, soybeans, mushroom, seaweeds, white fish, shellfish, and fruits and a low intake of white rice) showed a lower risk of depression whereas the 'unhealthy' dietary pattern (high intakes of white rice, meats, ramen, noodles, bread, and coffee and a low intake of rice with grains) increased the risk of depression after controlling for various social, health, and dietary confounders. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the association between dietary pattern and depression in middle-aged Korea adults.

Our findings are similar to the results of a study of Korean adolescent girls, which indicated that a high intake of instant and processed foods increased the risk of depression and that high intakes of green vegetables, fruits, and beans was negatively associated with the risk of depression [ 15].

The healthy Japanese dietary pattern, which is characterized by a high intakes of vegetables, fruit, mushrooms, and soy products, has been associated with a low incidence of depressive symptom in Japanese adults [ 21]. Also, maintaining a dietary pattern rich in vegetables, mushrooms, seaweeds, soybean products, green tea, potatoes, and fish was shown to lower the risk of depressive symptoms among Japanese employees [ 22].

Western studies have also reported associations between dietary patterns and depression. Typically, the Mediterranean dietary pattern, which is characterized by a high intakes of vegetables, nuts, legumes, fruit, and fish, and a moderate alcohol consumption, was reported to lower the incidence of depression in the Spanish SUN cohort [ 23]. Also, in an Australian prospective study, Mediterranean-like and fruit dietary pattern was associated with a lower risk of depression in middle-aged women [ 24]. A three-year intervention study revealed that a Mediterranean diet with nuts has a beneficial effect on depression risk in diabetes patients [ 12]. Similarly, a healthy dietary pattern characterized by a high intake of various vegetables and nuts was associated with a low prevalence of depression in an Iranian population [ 25]. The whole-food dietary pattern (high intake of vegetables, fruits, and fish) was associated with a lower risk of depression and a processed food dietary pattern increased the risk of depression among middle-aged Whitehall II cohort participants [ 13].

The Korean healthy food pattern represents the traditional Korean diet, which includes plenty of vegetables, a high intake of legumes and fish, and a low intake of red meat. Also, the Korean diet generally includes banchan (small side dishes) mainly consisting of vegetables with various jang (fermented soy products or pepper paste), garlic, pepper powder, sesame oil, and perilla oil [ 26]. Our study revealed that a healthy dietary pattern of middle-aged Koreans was characterized by high intakes of vegetables, soybeans, mushroom, seaweeds, white fish, shellfish and fruits. Therefore, the healthy dietary pattern is rich in dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acid, and various antioxidant nutrients. A systematic review reported that dietary n-3 PUFA and fish consumption are associated with a low risk of depression [ 27]. And it has been reported that fish or seafood intake, as well as omega-3 fatty acid intake, could prevent depression in a Korean population [ 28, 29, 30]. Taylor et al. [ 31] reported that a fiber and n-3 PUFA rich diet may reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, and stress. Also, dietary fiber intake from vegetables and fruits significantly reduced the depressive symptoms among Japanese workers [ 32]. Dietary fibers are transferred to the cecum and large bowel for anaerobic fermentation by gut microbiota into short chain fatty acids, such as acetic, propionic, and caproic acids, which has been reported to partially contribute to the prevention of depression [ 33].

Because this was a cross-sectional study, it is difficult to determine causal relationships between a healthy dietary pattern and a reduced risk of depression. Nonetheless, the results of this study may help to prevent middle-aged depression by reducing these unhealthy eating patterns and increasing healthy eating patterns. In conclusion, our findings suggest that a healthy dietary pattern is associated with a lower risk of depression whereas an unhealthy dietary pattern is associated with a high risk of depression in middle-aged Korean adults.
