During my vacation, I came across the publication of Helmut Newton’s works, and I came five times to the gallery to look at. There are many rare editions. Already actively working on the series of works “Breaking news: Chicken in the shower?” I came across Helmut’s photo “Facts and fiction” and realized that I see a certain allegory in it.
I immediately wanted to depict instead of women, chickens in these boxes, but in the negative, because in this way the effect of an X-ray image is achieved. And the X-ray, as it were, allows us to see the invisible, the essence of things.
I made a collage and a reference for the picture. Since there is a direct connection with X-ray “enlightenment”, the picture is an indirect reminder of medical examination and timely diagnosis.
