THE SIDESHOW OF THE ABSURD |
|
A traveling interactive exhibition,
The Sideshow of the Absurd, 2001-2008.
"The Sideshow of the Absurd," an interactive installation, consists of humorous drawings, large-scale interactive sculptures and environments that replicate the visual culture of early twentieth-century freak shows. The themes within the "Sideshow," however, are contemporary and reflect on the absurdity and violence inherent in today's spectacle-driven society. The show's focus is on the power of women.

THE HUNDRED HEADLESS WOMEN |
|
The Hundred Headless Women,
Wall Installation, 2001-2006.
"The Hundred Headless Women," a wall installation of wood-burned kitchen cutting boards, was originally created in 2001 for The Torture Museum in "The Sideshow of the Absurd". The images are of women in perilous and dangerous situations, but the heroine is always smiling, and she always survives. The name pays homage to Max Ernst's brilliant novel of collages and engravings, "The Hundred Headless Woman" from 1929.
