ANTIBODIES (SERIES OF PHOTO COLLAGES)
 |
“The body is the instrument of our hold on the world.”
(Simone de
Beauvoir, The Second Sex)
Antibodies is a
series of surreal photo collages created by using images from
fashion, lifestyle and erotic magazines. Utilizing techniques such
as fragmentation, obliteration, overlapping and juxtaposition the artwork
deconstructs the human body and challenges established notions of beauty,
identity and sexuality. Antibodies also tackles issues
such as the supposed indexicality and "truthfulness" of the
photographic medium and raises questions regarding ownership, copyright, and
the appropriation and (ab)use of imagery. In this overtly hyper-technological,
post-photographic age we live in the boundaries between truth and illusion are
questionable. Images can be downloaded, appropriated and manipulated to a point
where authorship is lost and the viewer is not sure what he or she is looking
at. Ultimately the work is a
critique of the unhealthy obsession with bodily looks and a reaction against
our constant bombardment with oversexualized, quasi-pornographic images by the
media and the entertainment industry. It seems as if moral and aesthetic
standards have lost their significance in an era of consumerist numbness,
artificial pleasure, objectification and instant gratification.
