Dominique Rey : Erlking / Pilgrims Hardback

Hardback

Description

This title offers an insightful look at the latest works by contemporary artist Dominique Ray.

Dominique Rey is a photographer, painter, and performance artist whose work is marked by a fascination with the marginal figure.

This publication documents two new series, one photographic and the other pictorial.

In "Erlking", Rey takes on a host of personas linked to the German and Scandinavian mythical creature that lures foolish travellers to their death.

Drawing from psychoanalysis and the literary works of Angela Carter, Rey invokes personas in flux.

Her painting series "Pilgrims" shows the influence of her involvement as a performer and attests to the intimate knowledge and experience she invests in her work.

Recalling sideshow circus 'freaks' and 1950s burlesque, "Pilgrims", explores notions of the 'unbeautiful' and how the unbeautiful becomes permissible, and even desirable, under the guise of performance and public display.
