Shopping centres and malls, pop and advertising images are some of the common features that characterize the consumer society today. An integral part of this culture of buying and selling are the images designed to entice and induce desire and consumption. Tayís work explores the question of whether womenís bodies have become a currency of exchange or form of commodity. While society has advanced the role of the woman and her contributions across all fronts of social and economic activities, do these sustained projections trivialize or even demean the identity of women?

 

 

Reconstruction of a City

Title of work: Global-nation

Year: 2004

Medium: Recycled clothes, wood

Dimensions: Variable

A colourful patchwork tent made of used clothes reflects on issues of consumption, wastage, poverty, recycling and conservation. The work examines how under the game of globalization, the act of disposal has become a modern urban lifestyle while the re-consumption of used products remains a way of life for the poor.
