Annette Messager is known for her installation work, which often incorporates photographs, prints, and drawings into a final sculpture. The majority of her work is based on toys and children, this is because she believes that 'children's stories are monstrous'.
There is one installation piece that got me interested in her work, as well as sparking some of my own ideas. It takes the form of a sphere, and involves photos being hung from the ceiling to produce this shape. However, the photographs in general are all made of body parts, as if creating a perfect human being into what Messagers believes to be a cliche, a sphere.
Inspiration came when searching different photography installations whilst trying to figure out exactly how I would want mine. As the thought of somehow recreating the room my uncle committed suicide in was still fresh in my mind, when I saw this photograph I knew exactly what I wanted to do. That I wanted to create a body made out of the photographs I'd already taken.
