DEADLINE was Aug 1st) NOTE: COPYRIGHT on these images belongs to individual authors/artists so images must not be used in any way without consent.
Part of Lucio's email about this piece:"I would translate its title to English some way like: "Memory rocky inscription or Graphic Delvaux". It is composed by the letters O, U, Y combined to represent a female body in a mirror. From that, a performer named Grasiele Sousa, made a stamp of it and stamped her own body with the poem, constructing a photo-performance with it."
ReplyDeleteIn a certain sense it was like to give back a virtual body to a real one, virtually doing that."
