Anna Uddenberg investigates the effects of image circulation and new technologies on body culture, spirituality and self-staging. Her practice boderlines categories of taste/class, appropriation, sexuality, lifestyle, fashion and art. It integrates historical approaches to gender theory while pushing these questions into new and intensively material territories. ‘Savage’ is a new series of works that evolves from her signatures pieces presented at the 9th Berlin Biennial.
Anna Uddenberg's Savages employ the visual language of consumer culture and slightly off high street fashion to explore notions of desire, exclusivity and femininity. Her aqua resin and fiberglass sculptures appear in nude, slippery colors, with their tights locked on to suitcases as if riding on a mechanical bull. We encounter their bodies bend in eccentric expression. The figures are in the grips of the norms of the performance. While their faces appear inert, their bodies display a tension, padded in high-tech materials speaking about functionality and safety.
