Body of Signs

Curatorial interpretation

A band of dark figure silhouettes runs along the top edge; below, a broad field of pink squares on black rests above a pale lower ground. The mood is rhythmic, bright and horizon-like. Here the human figure is not described through anatomy but assembled from signs, so the body reads as a container of accumulated marks. The work can be read as a reflection on identity as something built over time, with personal and collective memory written onto a single form. In the exhibition it appears at position 25 (ROOM V), where its role is: medium solo.
