Do you ever feel that the intimacy of the body is the real victim of human indifference?
Tell us what happened the day of the tour in the subway:
Daily life is characterized by "human robots". Can you break the stereotyped action? In the subway, I behaved like all the others, according to the script: get on board, stamp the ticket, sit down, get down. My naked skin clothed with words has failed to overturn the script of the people.

Deborah de Robertis
sits silently as museum-goers stop to contemplate the Luxembourg-based
artist’s spread legs until a French police man arrests her for indecent
exposure. On 29 May 2014, she walked into Paris’s famous Musée D’Orsay
dressed in a gold sequin dress, and posed below the controversial 19th
century painting titled ‘The Origin of the World’, which shows a woman’s
vagina and abdomen. What was de Robertis trying to say with her 21st
century live replication of the original?
one small seed was unable to get hold of de Robertis at this stage,
but in an interview with wort.lu, she explains that it was only
exhibitionist in nature if the context is ignored. ‘What I did is not an
impulsive act. It is very thought-through.’ She further clarified that
she is challenging the role that confidence plays in connection with the
naked female body, or the representation of it. When we look at a
picture of a naked female, we’re in a safe place, we’re voyeurs and
often happy that our gaze is not being returned. Once the portrayal
comes to life, however, we’re dealing with a hell of a lot more. We
become awkward, embarrassed and nervous — stripped of the confidence we
boasted when we were merely peeping. What is de Robertis saying about
the way society looks at women?
What do you think? Is provocation a way to put across a point? Is provocation necessary to make art? Is it art? Feel free to comment below or tweet us at @onesmallseedSA.
A similar performance just happened at Art Basel 2014. Click here for a woman who attends the event naked with just the words of clothing items written on the appropriate parts of her body.
