funeral:Marianna Ignataki, Nightswimming, 2020Synthetic hair, fabric and metalMarianna Ignataki is using synthetic prosthetic hair and wigs worn in the Chinese opera which she then sews together and onto fabrics to create her sculptural installations. Her oeuvre is referencing Chinese philosophy, myths and tradition, bearded ladies, hairmen, the circus, the opera and all the weird creatures of the night. Her works deal with issues of gender, identity and otherness through beauty and the grotesque. -- source link
