(IKB) - Body Print Into Landscape 2019 Directed by Marcy Petit
The piece is a reference to Yves Klein’s work Anthropometry, in which the artist used naked women as ‘human paintbrushes’, creating paintings that were results of elaborate performances in front of an audience. To Klein, the female figure was the canon of human proportion, an anthropometric symbol that he described as “the most concentrated expression of vital energy imaginable”. The same blue colour used by him (International Klein Blue IKB) is used by Marcy Petit as she becomes a human paintbrush too.
