Genesis Belanger

Curated by Cecilia Alemani, the exhibition focuses on the representation of the body –especially the female body– in order to analyse and contrast different notions of sexuality and self-definition. With its array of fetishes and totems, «The Magnetic Fields» presents a range of fantastical anatomies, in which the body is represented in a constant stream of transformation: dispossessed, dematerialised and recomposed. Installed as a chamber of wonders –or a camera oscura, to mention one of the over twenty important works by Man Ray on display– «The Magnetic Fields» alternates faces and portraits, anthropomorphic objects and bodies without organs, talismans and mutant dummies.
