Jennifer Des "Ouvre Moi and Les Sangtiments"
Soho Photo Gallery
This event has ended.
Soho Photo announces December's guest artist is Jennifer Des whose exhibition is entitled Ouvre Moi and Les Sangtiments. Des comes to Soho Photo from Belgium where she has been working for years on bodies of work that deal with the body's appearance. In Les Sangtiments, the artist explores the theme of suffering as she focuses on heart surgery. Her photographs engage the double meaning of the "heart," relating to feelings and to sorrow. With the Ouvre-Moi series, Des continues to pursue the theme of appearances, focusing this time on the world of cosmetic surgery. These images show the body's transformation and the suffering imposed upon it. Suspended in the void, organs are stripped of their context, giving way to abstract forms, colors and textures. A heart transforms into a butterfly and escapes from a mutilated body, echoing the desire for freedom...a recurrent theme in the artist's work.
