Anna Perach, Mother of Monsters (Blue), 2022. Photo by Paul Chapellier.
Anna Perach's work is included in the exhibition The Infinite Woman, curated by Alona Pardo at Villa Carmignac on the island of Porquerolles, presented by Fondation Carmignac. Perach's works will be shown alongside Sandro Botticelli, Judy Chicago, Louise Bourgeois, Michael Armitage and others.
Organised thematically, the exhibition The Infinite Woman draws on ideas of myths and monsters in the representation of women to reflect on womanhood in all its many guises. Moving surefootedly between images of goddesses to scrutinizing the idea of the femme fatale, from disruptive ideas of motherhood to paying homage to the power of women's desire, from beguiling fairytale creatures to cyborgs highlighting their emancipatory potential, to elevating (dis) obedient bodies that upend Western conventions of beauty while reflecting on the body as vessel, the exhibition closes with a section devoted to sirens and anti-icons to explore how gender is shape shifting in the 21st century.
Ultimately, the works in the exhibition disrupt conventional ideas of womanhood to reflect on feminine power and how the representation of women has shaped global cultural attitudes.
The exhibition runs 27 April - 2 November 2024
