CAMPOS, Ana Paula de. Body and ornament: the provocations of Lauren Kalman. []. , 8, 17, pp.98-110. ISSN 1647-6158.

In the twentieth century the body became the target of knowledge and experimentation in multiple fields, including art. This text aims to present and discuss the work of visual artist Lauren Kalman, in which body, ornament and image are discussed from their relationships with health and disease, beauty and grotesque, sensoriality and sexuality. The aim is to make a reading of the works through the point of view of relevant authors in body studies, such as Foucault, Vigarello and Courbine.
