ISSUE NO. 145 • ELKE DESUTTER
Elke Desutter makes art about the human body — but not in the way you might expect. She photographs anonymous body parts, builds an archive, then cuts and reassembles them into new composite figures she calls a “Body of Bodies,” removing faces so the focus shifts to what we all share rather than what sets us apart. She also works copper into her pieces, a metal that actually exists inside every human body, making the connection between material and subject literal.
