“The Sphinx” is a collage work of mine inspired by Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen’s avant-garde film “The Riddles of the Sphinx” (1977).The caption I posted with this image was a quote by Mulvey: “To the patriarchy, the Sphinx as woman is a threat and a riddle, but women within patriarchy are faced with a never-ending series of threats and riddles: dilemmas which are hard for women to solve, because the culture within which they must think is not theirs”.The picture was quickly deleted from my instagram account @laura__lot, apparently because it contained one nipple. Unable to show this work online, I decided to feature it in a book I recently released.
