Blown-Up Baby Doll
1992
Vito Acconci's Blown Up Baby Doll is a provocative screenprint created in 1992 that challenges conventional ideas about representation and scale. The work combines screenprint in colors with unconventional materials including Sintra and mirrored Plexiglas lined with velcro. This mixed media approach transforms a simple doll reference into a complex interactive object. The mirror element encourages viewer self reflection and participation. Acconci's piece engages with themes of perception, childhood, and the manipulation of everyday objects.
