Vanessa Beecroft — VB52, Castello di Rivoli, Turin
Vanessa Beecroft

VB52, Castello di Rivoli, Turin

A commanding photograph captures a group of women posed in strict formation, their nude or minimally clothed bodies arranged with military precision against the grand architectural backdrop of the Castello di Rivoli. Beecroft's signature aesthetic merges the human figure with concepts of uniformity, vulnerability, and power, blurring the boundaries between performance, sculpture, and photography. The face-mounting to Plexiglas enhances the image's luminous, hyper-real quality, giving the figures an almost monumental, iconic presence.

Medium
Chromogenic print, face-mounted to Plexiglas and flush-mounted.
