Body without Organs, Body without Image: Ernesto Neto's Anti-Leviathan (Undoing the Image 1)

This work delves into the creative universe of Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto, exploring his distinctive approach to art and its implications for understanding the human body and image. Through in-depth analysis, Alliez and Bonne unravel the complexities of Neto's installations, revealing how they challenge conventional notions of identity and perception.

The authors critically examine how Neto's art functions as a response to the overwhelming influences of modernity and commodification. By engaging with concepts of the body without organs, they illuminate the potential for new forms of existence and community that transcend traditional boundaries.

Through rich commentary and thought-provoking insights, this exploration offers a lens through which to reconsider the intersections of art, philosophy, and bodily experience. It encourages readers to reflect on the transformative power of Neto's work in a world often dominated by rigid structures of meaning.
