The work of Marta Mattsson goes from taxidermy to dissected insects, passing through butterfly and moth wings in the shape of a broach. A daring and sensationalist take on accessories, the beauty of the colors and composition play a primordial role.

Her work looks at the lighter side of ideas that may seem obvious to any normal person. She transforms the human body using materials that fit into different parts of the body, changing the silhouette or the overall shape. Imme’s intention is not to scandalize but to show that every form is beautiful in its own way, reexamining the concept of beauty in this day and age.

“Lekker indrukbaar” is a project based on Anke Huyben’s own body, and how at times she is unsatisfied with it. To hide the parts of her body that make her feel insecure, she maintains certain postures. However, in doing so, she often times calls more attention to what she’s trying to hide. With the use of these bronze objects, she forces herself to hold these postures, which, despite the original intention, highlight her vulnerabilities.
