Abstract
In 'Reproductions II' Sharon Kivland exhibits new works from the collection, echoing her last exhibition, with a little deviation. Works include postcards of Rome turned into clumsy negatives; more carefully done drawings of underwear, copied from magazines of the 1950s, immobile and fixed, removed from any supporting body; photographs of belts or waists, bodies or fashion accessories (so difficult to tell sometimes); a knee–length skirt, which appears both constraining and oddly liberating; truncated bodies in attractive trousers and defining belts or in lovely dresses (day and one evening); postcards of stars of the cinema, already fading, embellished (the painted addition may be all that remains); another Nana, ghostwritten this time, describing herself through the words of others. It is, one might say, a matter of structure, as well as one of meticulous cataloguing or insistent representation. Material that has had a life already is reorganised, yet the re–ordering leads to a certain disorder, a somewhat paradoxical economy. It may be rather hard to distinguish perversity from perversion, for example, in certain works (re)presented here, wherein there is both malice and jouissance.
