WHAT LIES BETWEEN FLESH AND BLOOD-I | 2009

C PRINT+DIASEC | 54 X 81 INCHES

Appropriating a canvas of modern art, Rana transforms the formal concerns into conceptual and political issues. Translating the layers of reds and browns into squares of skin and flesh with bleeding in some, the twist is contextual while the tone is contemporary. This print comprises of close up pictures of skin picked from porn, fashion photography and print media and visuals of blood and wounds taken from media pictures, medical illustrations and the details of a slaughterhouse.
