Julia Reodica (USA) / Biography
HYMNEXT
The tissue cultured sculptures comment on modern sexuality as a confrontation to the traditional roles of the female body, presented as a collection of synthesized hymens made from the artist’s own body cells with human and animal skin cells. The sculptures are symbolic gifts of virginity in a reciprocal gesture between lovers. Between the art and science fields, the hymens represent a renewed collaboration.
