THE FICTITIOUS WOMAN


"After Courbet, L´origine du Monde" - Tanja Ostojic, 2005

"If the image of a woman's body can be seen as a political statement when it comes to the EU presidency, then what about the reality of south-eastern European women who in the year 2006 are still being sold as commodities in the EU? Over here the fictitious woman lies in an apparently lascivious pose in the picture, and over there the real woman stands on the corner or is confined to a brothel. It is a paradoxical image".
