Alexandra Metcalf's 'Gaaaaaaasp' Exhibition at The Perimeter Explores Bodily Dispossession with Anthropomorphic Objects

The Perimeter in London is currently hosting Alexandra Metcalf's exhibition 'Gaaaaaaasp,' which delves into themes of female objectification and bodily dispossession, running until 25 July 2025. The gallery has been transformed with custom retro wallpaper and flooring. Key installations include a voyeuristic observation room and a hospital setting. Sculptural works symbolize women's bodies, with visual representations blending into intricate patterns. The ground floor evokes a sense of entrapment with its outdated decor, featuring three paintings focused on women's legs. A video installation captures the artist under surveillance. On the upper levels, anthropomorphized lamps rest on camp beds, while the top floor showcases tortured objects alongside figures inspired by 1960s fashion, prompting reflection on women's comfort in historically objectifying environments.
