1.Johanna Naukkarinen Johanna Naukkarinen : from the series Lying Down, 2022
Dimensions: 42 x 29 cm
The series is part of an exhibition investigating 18th-century female figures in medical wax models, known as anatomical Venuses. Anatomical Venuses were originally modelled on the Venus figures familiar from n**e paintings, and this series playfully creates new anatomical Venuses from various female imagery, including n**e paintings and pin-up illustrations. Through digital collages, it examines recurring poses in representations of women that transcend artistic boundaries and enter the realm of science.
