LUISA HANSAL
DEAD WEIGHT
01 SEPTEMBER - 22 SEPTEMBER 2018
GALLERY 2
Dead Weight explores the fascinations and fears of our changing corporeal being.
Utilising sculpture, video and sound, Luisa Hansal presents a psychological space
where the feminine body’s impermanence, fragility and pathos can be examined. The
work further questions the conditions and constraints tied to the female human body by presenting it as tragic, transgressive, abject and even ludicrous.
