Creator: Patrick Van Caeckenbergh

Installation at the Kunsthal Rotterdam
For MANIFESTA Van Caeckenbergh presents 'La Lampadaire + Collection of Skins'. The artist has collected hundreds of photographs of skin taken from pornographic magazines over the past few years. Almost all of the bodies distinguishing features have been left out so as to produce an abstract representation. The image is abstracted so that we do not notice its hardness and retain only its most provoking and sensual aspects.
