body object series #4, cloth Possibly 1985 - 1991

Ann Hamilton's "body object series #4, cloth" (1985-1991) is a striking black and white photograph. It shows a figure, partially obscured by a cloth billowing above their head, seated on a chair in a simple space. The photograph, likely part of Hamilton's ongoing exploration of the body and its relationship with objects, prompts reflection on identity, privacy, and the ways in which we present ourselves to the world. Hamilton's use of the cloth as a veil both conceals and reveals, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay between what we show and what we hide.
