Description

The body object series was Ann Hamilton’s first photographic project. Conceived and staged by the artist, these images are surrealist and absurdist, and sometimes humorous, with strong roots in conceptual, performance, and installation art. The sense of touch is a prevalent theme in Hamilton's work. Here, her imagery may be personal, but the images are universal in their evocation of the body as a receptor of sensation.
Black-and-white photograph of a person facing our left with a dress shoe sticking out of their face. The person has short hair from the side, light skin tone, and stand against a neutral background. The heel-end of the light colored shoe extends from their mouth, the lace-less eyelets of the shoe lining up with their eye.
