Zoon Erotikon. 2019. Object. Embroidery without paper. 38 x 28 cm. 20p

 

Adaptation of a catalog of classical art dating from 1947.

 To embroider the pages, I removed the images from the catalog and erased the stamps and references to the author's name. I used different lines and rhinestones to draw figures that appear in different ways on each side of the same sheet.

The titleZoon Erotikon (Erotic Animal) is an important concept in my research, it questions the scope of the Aristotelian Zoon Politikon and suggests that before being a political animal, the human being is an erotic animal, driven by drives and desires.
