Venus rising from the sea
Woman, MDF, rice alcohol glasses, 100x100x90cm, 2009
French May festival, Hong Kong [May 1 - May 10, 2009]
An obvious reference to Botticelli's famous painting, this performance plays with the clichés of feminine sensuality. The viewer is attracted by a woman's hand alone, the rest of her body remaining invisible. As he seizes the tasting glass, he stands in front of a mysterious icon: a different image of woman, a different Venus rising from the sea.
