Janine Antoni

At the centre of all Janine Antoni's works is her own body: its absence and invisibility in the context of its visibility. Thus she "draws" with the twitch of her eyelashes, "paints" with her hair, or "sculptures" blocks of fat with her teeth. In "Slumber", an electric encephalograph records the movements of her pupils, and the resulting graphic pattern is integrated into a weaving piece, which serves as her blanket at night. This monograph features documentation and discussion of "Slumber" and all her other major works.
