Using video, artificial intelligence, sculpture, painting, and music, Marianna Simnett creates immersive installations that simultaneously seduce and unsettle. This volume foregrounds her new painting series Headless, in which Simnett makes direct reference to Max Ernst’s collage novel La Femme 100 t�tes (The Hundred Headless Woman). In this dreamlike, at times nightmarish installation, she interweaves questions about gender and social hierarchies, metamorphosis, vulnerability, control, and pain. Touching on ancient mythology, she connects past and present within her multidisciplinary practice and creates her own alter egos. Simnett’s close connection to the ideas of Surrealism is highlighted as a central theme in this monograph.
