This is pictures i took of a interesting piece i saw when visiting Tate gallery in Liverpool 15th February, 2017. This is a piece i found in the Tracy Emin and William Blake in Focus exhibition.
I wanted to document my finding here on the blog so that i could consider it as research for my essay on the topic discussing notions of beauty in advertising.
"In each of these works an image from a women´s fashion magazine is framed alongside a photograph of the artist. Her actions and poses appear to mimic those in the found magazine pages, but the photographs are in fact pictures that existed in Ivekovic´s personal collection, often taken months or even years before the magazines were published. Part of a series called Double Life, originally published as an artist´s book, these works comment on the invasive effect mass media imagery on women´s lives while also commenting on the disparity between such images and the rituals and interactions that compose everyday life.
