| Summary: | "Note: the silicone on the covers are added by hand, making each book unique... The book Antidote is an exploration of the body and the psyche, wherein visual artist Laura Hospes presents self-portraits of a performative nature. Hospes engages in various physical experiments, such as binding her skin with wire to accentuate its soft parts or painting her body with white paint against a white background to gradually blend in. Through these performative experiments, she investigates the human body, present in all its distorted forms, and confronts severe destruction by means of healing. The book is, paradoxically at times, an homage to the body and the skin, resilient entities capable of enduring much, even when the psyche falters."--artist's website. |
