Cristine Brache: Centerfolds at Bernheim

 

Playboy bunnies have been objectified for decades, and Cristine Brache examines their role and that of one, Dorothy Stratten. She wrote poetry, yet was only viewed for her body and has been largely forgotten after she was murdered by her husband. The show includes paintings based on photographs, both of which feature nudity, as well as ghostly close-ups of Stratten’s face. It turns us into voyeurs as we must look down the chimney into a scale model of the Playboy mansion. Until 2nd April.
