After graduating in sculpture from the Lucerne School of Applied Arts in 1974, Hannah Villiger (d. 1997) turned to photography as her preferred medium in the early 1980s. Armed with a 35mm camera, then a Polaroid, she fragmented her body, showing it in all its states. Enlarged and presented in dynamic ensembles, her photographs reveal the intrinsic properties of the body, an anonymized material shaped by mechanical recording.
