Isak Uitto's 'Maskineri' Explores 1990s Body Politics
Isak Uitto's work 'Maskineri' engages with the 1990s emphasis on the body and its decline, a period marked by the AIDS crisis and a shift from Catholic ideology toward atheistic bodily autonomy. The documentary 'Vile Bodies' (1999), produced by Chris Townsend, exemplifies this visceral photographic approach.
