What is imparted to an object when it is scanned, and what is imparted to an object when it is scanned by the artist
Katerina Jebb? There’s the imprint of labour, certainly – the British-born artist’s technique of flat-scanning artefacts piece-by-piece, before seamlessly reassembling them into a collaged whole, takes many long hours and several days per project. There’s a new clarity: something ordinary and familiar is rendered in high-definition, acutely detailed to such an extreme that it takes a few seconds to correctly name it. And, there’s a revelation of it’s hidden mystery. Jebb – who contributed to the most recent issue of AnOther Magazine – is an analyst bearing witness to the “thing-ness” of things, by which I mean the energy deposited into objects by those who originally made them, those who held them, and, as the artist’s body of work attests to, the audience who look at them in the form of large-scale photo-collages.

Her Dior was informed by a photographic project I created called
Real Beauty, which focused on rethinking the stereotypical view of what defines beauty. I photographed women in their underwear in my hometown of Johannesburg, South Africa; women from varying social backgrounds and with varying body shapes in a space that was familiar to them. I interviewed each woman to ask her how she personally defined beauty.
âThe [
Her Dior] shoot [similarly] challenges stereotypes. I chose outfits that wouldnât be associated with any specific culture through fabric or style. I also wanted to give the viewer hints of a sense of place by incorporating indigenous flowers from South African artworks Iâd come across on the walls of many houses in townships; mother and child representations for example and the work of Vladimir Tretchikoff. In African culture, more and more women are wearing their hair naturally when previously many more women wore wigs, so I wanted to celebrate this natural look. I also wanted a fuller figured model.

This “living project,” as she describes it, brings together 160 images by groundbreaking women image-makers from around the world who have interpreted Chiuri’s work at Dior and represent a “multitude of ideas on femininity.” While, as Chiuri notes, “many voices are expressed” in the volume—among them Nan Goldin, Sarah Moon, Coco Capitán, Katerina Jebb, Zoë Ghertner, Sarah Waiswa, Kristin-Lee Moolman, Jodi Bieber and Bettina Rheims—“there are many more ways of understanding, apprehending and living one’s femininity… the naturalness of this conversation is important, [its] point of view is both intimate and open, free of judgment and paternalism.”

A 19th Century woman’s account, in embroidery, of mental turmoil and hardship has been enlarged for display at the Victoria & Albert Museum – endorsed by Kylie Minogue.
Elizabeth Parker, who left home aged 13 to work as a nursery maid, later expressed her feelings in 64 lines of tiny, red cross-stitches.
She tells of abuse from her employer, with experiences of “cruelty too horrible to mention”, mental turmoil and her thoughts of suicide.
