Synopsis

Le Corps Mutant/Body in Mutation published by Galerie Enrico Navarra, with Jacques Ranc as curator. The book is well illustrated with all text in English and French. The theme of the Body in Mutation provides today's artists and designers with lots to explore in fine arts, fashion, music, or the movies. This is an essential theme justified first and foremost by the quality of the creative work and the exchanges out of which it evolved. If it is also a broad theme, it is because the body has become a vehicle for personal affirmation. It is a tool in our society, often sculpted by plastic surgery, body building, all manners of diet, tattoos, or piercings. Artists have gone even further and claim that the body is obsolete. Artists now see the body as an accessory that they are free to shape and mold. Some of the artists featured in this book include Alaïa, Aziz + Cucher, Björk, Leigh Bowery, Hussein Chalayan, Dinos & Jake Chapman, David Cronenberg, Eva & Adele, Robert Gligorov, Nick Knight, Reiko Kruk, David Lachapelle, Alexander McQueen, Orlan, Jeremy Scott, Stelarc, Nicole Tran Ba Vang, Philip Treacy, Walter Van Beirendonck, and others.
