Vagina Or American Divergence :: Cosima von Shonibare, Marry Ciona, Joao Alvim

In Vagina Or American Divergence, Cosima von Shonibare entwines technology and religion in a complex work touching every aspect of community; even if it deals with currently important themes like sex taboos, media and communications or science and technology; each image emerges as a kind of performance of applying paint, rubbing, erasing, sanding and reapplication until the moment of completion, the layers of time and place involved in the works of art presented engage the viewer in the complexity and awareness of the situation.
