Urs Lüthi

A pioneer of research related to the body and self-representation, since the early 1970s he has authored a series of estranging self-portraits which seek to bring out his own intersexual characteristics, often presenting himself to viewers in a male version and in his complementary female alter ego. In a refined interplay of evocations of being and appearance, interpreting and interpreted, Lüthi’s work is marked by a sense of the double recounted through himself, giving a body to the fluid substance of ambiguity, the co-presence of changing identities (text courtesy of MADRE museum, Naples).
