Anonymous by Laura Lima consists of a series of fabric-based forms, over which rope has been arranged in varying textures and patterns. Visually, the work evades more complex descriptions, demanding a separate set of conventions to describe its semi-textural, semi-sculptural surface. Lima’s principle of demanding alternative descriptive conventions and exploring the experiential dimension of interacting with her work is fully visible in Anonymous , which is in many ways best qualified, in its sheer variety of shapes and textures, by its title.
Multidisciplinary Brazilian artist Laura Lima’s work attempts to excavate a set of self-defined concepts that she uses to describe her practice, indicative of her overall attempt to unsettle extant conceptual frameworks in favor of more productive re-territorializations. Her best-known body of work performatively examines the human body’s behavior in the face of stressful situations. This type of work signals Lima’s treatment of the social body as a sculptural form, a tradition she inherits from the Brazilian Neo-Concrete movement. Her work is often centered around encounters with the audience, dismantling expectations in order to create an impetus for a new experiential vernacular.
