No longer a product of the body’s allure, beguilement becomes a side effect of function over form and sensation over the purely visual.

Booth’s provocations and insistence on an atmosphere of ‘Do Touch’ combin… more acte2galerieFREllen von UnwerthLITTLE BEAST26 Sep – 9 Nov 2013Ellen Von Unwerth fait un retour en force avec acte2galerie à Paris pour son exposition inédite « Little Beast».
