Abstract (en)

Interpretive analysis of Jana Sterbak's three "dresses": Vanitas: Flesh Dress for an Albino Anorectic, 1987; Remote Control I and Remote Control II, 1989; I Want You to Feel the Way I Do...(The Dress), 1984-1985. Explores how Sterbak uses the dress as a metaphor for the culturally inscribed female body.
