ABSTRACT

There are two sides to this fascinating and spooky artwork. From our side, the voyeur's side, there is, initially, a powerful frisson of transgression. You really are inside the protective shell, on terms of extraordinary intimacy with a total stranger. And not just as any total stranger, but a famous actress to boot. Okay, she's not Marilyn Monroe, but most ofus have heard of Swinton, and never imagined we would be staring up her nostrils or judging her body hair.
