Fata Morgana [catalogue essay]

Essay for the catalogue accompanying the exhibition Intreccio Mirage by Milly Thompson at 43 Inverness Street, London, February 27 - April 27, 2013. In making the work for Intreccio Mirage, one reference point for Thompson was Jeff Koons's basketball works and the analysis of them in my book One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank. The essay responds to the critique of consumerism and media prescriptions on bodily form, and to the forceful assertion of female desire expressed in Thompson's work.
