500 Bathers
500 Bathers
500 Bathers is a visual recherché, depicting hundreds of female Bathers from across the history of art, especially the orientalists like Ingres.
This site-specific drawing installation took place in a historical bathing pool situated inside my residency studio in Nairs Foundation.
This pool is tiled with 10 x 10 cm ceramic pieces, which are covered day by day with my 500 drawings on used cotton bed sheets, self-portraits based on the female bathing protagonists, such as Bathshebas and Susanna and the Elders depictions during western art history.
