THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD

Berlin, Germany, 2023

Covered by leaves, the forgotten body appears as a discarded object that ceases to be a form of representation and becomes the hope of finding emptiness in the black crevice between two buttocks.

The leaves become a cosy blanket that shields the subject from the constant sublimation of the images of beauty of the modern creative industry and the indulgence of endless meaningless connections of signifiers. Not yet rotting, but already buried under yellowed leaves, the pop awaits its discovery, which is possible in the case of rejection of the gendered obstacles lying in the way.

The discarded object returns to contemporary art and takes the place of a gaping void in it, which is filled with anxiety and pleasure.
