Vesta
Video installation 06:13 min
In between the burning flames of Vesta, various "Vestal Virgins" ask questions about the virtue of purity and the past and current state of the female appearance. Staging himself both as the painter and the female sitter, Ane Lan raises questions about the gaze of women in classical painting related to the gaze of the masculine eye.
