Venus, photographed from the present.
Cláudio Garrudo explores the female body, eroticism and motherhood in a photographic series. The images reopen the question of how art history has constructed the figure of woman.
Ana Matos’s text places the series in conversation with Botticelli’s Venus, Manet’s Olympia and Modigliani’s nudes, asking what these inherited models can mean today.
