Catalogue Note
"Marlene Dumas makes visible that the occupied, 'calculated' woman loses her/his 'innocence' in images disqualified by the mass media. Her water-colors reactivate the notion that individual and heterogeneous personality images flow together in a 'pleasant' image of the wo/man–a tightrope walk by the artist Marlene Dumas between alienation and unmistakableness, appearance and reality, disguise and credibility."
