Abstract (en)

Looks at a female paper figure by Kiki Smith, 1990, pondering the vulnerability of the body. Like many other artists, Smith uses the combination of hard and soft as a metaphor of disease. It is peculiar, thinks Rossi, how a deadly disease such as AIDS has brought emphasis on the human body as an artistic object of study. The development of technology has had a similar effect. Increasingly art reminds us of what a field of pressure conflicts, power struggles, texts and pictures - but also pleasures - every body is.
