Abstract (English)

Fabo notes that Heard’s installation braids Mannerist, Surrealist, and Gothic elements into a new, unsettling hybrid. He relates the corporeal anxiety registered in Heard’s distorted figures to the dual intent of Mannerism, where bodies are both narrative ciphers and mirrors of inner and societal crisis. The author also equates Freud’s concept of the uncanny with the phrase “disagreeable object” that Heard uses to characterise her work. Includes a selection of quotes related to the exhibition's main themes. Biobibliography 1 p. List of works.
