Julie Rrap 'Body Double' brings together photography, video, sculpture and installation, exploring the persona of the ‘trickster’ in Rrap’s work, the theme of the ‘body double’, and the ways in which the artist oversteps the margins of bodily comfort.
Rrap explores representational issues relating to the body through media such as photography, video, sculpture and installation. Broadly influenced by activist politics, including feminism, Rrap often uses her own body in an uncompromising and compelling way to question perception and power structures.
Victoria Lynn, Guest Curator, comments: “Rrap’s representation of the body is never comfortable, as the figure is often fragmented, distorted or forced into different personas, inevitably raising ethical and aesthetic issues in relation to how we depict, interpret and understand the human form”.
