Product Description
The work is a cast of Abramovic’s own nose and serves as an homage to Nicolai Gogol’s eponymous 19th century short story “The Nose.” In Gogol’s story, a man is in pursuit of his escaped nose. Abramovic reverses the narrative, multiplying her own nose and allowing the whole audience to take one.
This Silver Nose further explores the artist’s interest in casting hew own facial features in edible materials, designating a part of herself to be consumed by her audience.
Originally served at the opening reception for the artist's retrospective at Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Moscow, Russia.
