Installation with video (8:53 Min.) and photographs (ca. 75 x 50 cm and 75 x 50 cm), Städtische Sammlung Erlangen
In her work Look at that Beauty, Lilly Urbat takes up the theme of objectification of the female body. Her face is not shown in the series - but her naked body in various poses, together with individual parts of her tuned Honda motorcycle. Her body is marked with scratches and bruises. The injuries are from an accident on the same motorcycle. For the photo series, she repairs the vehicle, it is painted, touched up and replaced so that it meets her beauty standards again. On her body, however, the traces of the accident are not covered up. Only her fingernails are painted to match the motorcycle.
