Monika Tichacek Lineage of the Divine 2 2002/2004 Lambda print 97.5 x 80.5 cm Courtesy of the artist and Karen Woodbury Gallery, Melbourne Monika Tichacek was instantly drawn to Amanda Lepore – a transsexual in New York – especially the way she has transformed her body. In her photographs and hypnotic video, Tichacek presents an array of prosthetics and fake body parts set amidst a satin boudoir. Her preoccupation with perfection of the body, cosmetic surgery and notions of beauty are explored with two female figures in different poses. Here Matthew Barney meets Orlan.
