Thanks to her multimedia approach, which combines photography, sculpture, and video, Ann Mandelbaum’s work is some of the most convincing, authentic contemporary surrealism today. She explores the experiences of her own body, its fantastic reality, and the psychophysical fate she has suffered. This is the third volume featuring the work of New York artist Ann Mandelbaum (*1945). In it, she relates and compares casts of body parts made in recent years, fragments of reality reinterpreted in her photographs, and the microorganisms she has invented and collected in display cases.
