Nudity, the nude. In the modern image, ever since nudity was detached from its theological reason, nudity has been a clothing the artist has at his disposal; being nude is something the character dresses to be. The modern condition of the nude liberates it from any anatomical relation - being undressed has somewhat ever a theological and anatomical condition, it still stands as a part of the conception of the pure and revealed, the naked. In this video, Katharina Barbosa contemplates on the plasticity of the flesh - its reason and significance. The images brings our thoughts towards a slaughter house where any kind of meat is assimilated to an essentiel appearance as flesh.

Jeg har behandlet en bok av Bettina Rheims nærmest som et tresnitt, og kuttet i dybden av boken og fotografert hvert «kutt». Hvert lag blir et nytt bilde som jeg har skannet og gjort til en del, ett bilde, i en film som viser transformasjonen av boken i sin helhet.
