JULIE CURTISS – LA FEMME SECRÈTE
2020-06-01Fragmented bodies, faceless portraits of women and identities hidden between luscious locks of hair, the surreal works of Julie Curtiss present an enigmatic riddle, an invitation to reflect on the idea of an ever-changing self. Playing with the viewer’s gaze by carefully concealing and revealing, Curtiss entices the audience to actively engage with her work; completing the puzzle it presents with their own stories.
For her collaboration with Case Studyo, Curtiss relished the opportunity to create an object that people can touch and have an intimate relationship with. ‘La femme secrète’ is a carefully constructed wooden sculpture that also functions as a box, harbouring a secret compartment.
