The first issue of Bound Magazine explores the human being or, rather, how the human figure has been represented and materialized in all kinds of objects with spiritual, mythological, emotional and social values.
From ancient to contemporary times, through art and various other kinds of expression, we find references to the human body in the organic forms of the primitive Venus, cave paintings that capture bodies in motion, or in objects of everyday use.
Playing with what humans have discarded in Figurations, Norman Wilcox Geissen assembles delicate and ambiguous still life in a choreography of limbs, skins, and stand-ins.
