"Everybody say she doesn’t look like this, it does not mater, she will” [Pablo Picasso]

Computer manipulated photography, cibachrome, prints, installation 1991/1993

The project investigated issues of representation and the nature of reality in the age of digital imagery, and art historical notions of the genius and artistic license. The work consisted of a series of photographically reconstructed Picasso paintings. The images looked like realistic photographs of women that had actual cubist faces and bodies. The images simultaneously utilized and questioned our belief in the photographic image.

Project exhibited in a group exhibition - 'Störning (disturbance)'. The exhibition consisted of four artists/photographers (Lotta Antonsson, Lisa Jevbratt, Annica Karlsson Rixon, Ulrika Åling) dealing with issues of gender and representation and was curated by Annika Öhrner at The Exhibition Agency, Swedish State Department of Culture. The show was exhibited in galleries and art museums in the Nordic and the Baltic countries 1993-1994.
