“In 2009, I was injured in a work accident which permanently impacted the mobility of my arm and hand. The experience

not only changed me physically, but required a mental shift in my understanding of my body and my ability to practice as

an artist. In working through the experience, I developed a series of digital self-portraits inspired by Le Corbusier, whose

architectural projects and philosophy included utopian visions of society.“

Larissa Nickel


DESCRIPTION:

"In Human Limb Object/Architech Me, Larissa Nickel’s video loops combine to create an exquisite corpse image of a body segmented into a head, a torso and arms, and legs and feet.
Exquisite Corpse was a Surrealist parlor game where a piece of paper was divided into thirds. Different artists drew on each segment without seeing the rest of the images.
The video installation has three 26 inch monitors, mounted on the wall to form a column. The top screen alternates stills of a white female’s head and shoulders. One image shows a blonde woman and a dark-haired woman facing each other with open mouths. Another shows a brunette with two faces superimposed over each other. Another is a redhead in profile with a large butcher knife handle for a right arm. There are several other images, all with the same face but with different wigs and accessories.
The center screen alternates female torsos and arms holding kitchen appliances and accessories. There is the top of a coffee maker, a tea kettle, a stand kitchen mixer, a large butcher knife and crocheted doilies. One image has flowers floating over the crotch area. Another image has three hands.
The bottom screen alternates images of female legs. Some legs have fanciful prosthetic limbs. Other legs float above monuments in high-heeled shoes." -A. Laura Brody
