anna malagrida <l la bañera , 1999 translucent photo mounted on bathtub 180 x 80 cm |
||||
The bañera (The bathtub) is a photographic installation using the effect of a trompe l'oeil. A woman plunged into the water seems to experience a moment of distance and absolute contemplation. Her body, which is slightly disproportionate and larger than normal, is naked and exposed to the public. Her closed eyes position the subject in a state of dream and meditation, which excludes the spectator.
