《从我到你》系列的装置艺术展示，展出于Symbiosis。
Vanessa Karin, Lima, 1996
In “Mmm”, artist Vanessa Karin superimposes the sketches of two human faces, outlined through embroidery, onto an indeterminate background—though at times it appears to be blonde hair floating against a light blue backdrop. The features of these faces reference Japanese manga, while the painterly treatment seems inspired by both "glitch" aesthetics (inherent to the digital world) and the developments of abstract painting, oscillating between figuration and abstraction. The artist thus brings together a range of technical and aesthetic references that span a vast temporal and geographical field.
