Tag: Tamara Kostianovsky

Tamara Kostianovsky, an Israel-born, Argentina-raised artist, uses pieces of clothing—including her own—to construct meat carcasses that recreated muscle, bone, and cartilage. Her "Actus Reus" series places these gruesome, yet engrossing creations on meat hooks. While the soft nature of the material may not recall our insides, Kostianovsky’s reproductions still unsettle in their faithfulness to butchered bodies. Her "Still Lives" series takes a similar approach, yet maintains part of the emulated exterior of animal bodies (along with grander presentation).
