body object series #11, boot Possibly 1984 - 1993

Ann Hamilton’s *body object series #11, boot* (possibly 1984-1993) is a black and white photograph from the artist’s “body object series.” The image depicts a person wearing a black sweater and trousers with a rubber boot strapped across their arm. The subject appears to be looking directly at the viewer, perhaps in a confrontational manner. Hamilton’s work often explores the human body and its relationship to objects and the environment. This image could be seen as a commentary on the ways in which we are shaped by the objects we use and the environments we inhabit.
