Sybille II 1999

by Wim Delvoye.

The subject of Sybille II by Wim Delvoye is the skin. The magic of the 
work lies in the use of extreme close-ups. They cause the pictures to at 
first look like an imaginary, lifeless landscape. After several minutes 
worm-like objects on the surface come to life.

Delvoye creates a work of art that confounds our conventional notion of 
what constitutes the beautiful. The film shows a series of sequences in 
which various forms, invariably in tones of white and ivory, seem to 
emerge from nowhere in a delicately cross-stitched landscape.
