From the archetype of the virgin to the stereotype of the bad mother, Female Bestiary collects the most monstrous figures that we all know in a series of digital collages. Each beast comes to life from fragments of newspapers, photos, drawings and centuries of patriarchy; thus deriving from a pre-established imagery of what can and cannot be a body or a person. All of us have been, will be, would like to be or not to be one of the monstrosities of the Bestiary.
Female Bestiary was displayed during the “Monsters on trees” exhibit from October 11 to 21 in Villa Gordiani, Rome.
