Art & The Body - Julie Rrap




Julie Rrap has been a very influential Australian contemporary artist. A lot of her work revolves around the body and comments on the female figure throughout art history. Her performance piece 'Mind Over Matter' is no exception. The duration of the performance is approximately 17 minutes long, and in this time she uses the rubber heads from the series Eraser Head 1-6 to erase images depicting her naked body. The body then returns in the form of a left over, becoming fragmented and distorted.
