In her collages and installations, she works with images from mass media and the sciences. She takes these from very different sources, such as ethnographic photography; fashion, sports, and\u0026nbsp;sex magazines; or popular-science publications such as \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eNational Geographic.\u003c\/I\u003e The principal motif of her work is the mutated, deformed, or mutilated female body, which has become a kind of venue for issues surrounding black female identity amid the tensions of Western consumer culture, the African diaspora, and postcolonial history. Mutu’s oeuvre captivates the viewer through its unique combination of surreal poetry, social critique, horror, and beauty.\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin, April 30–June 13, 2010\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874859806984,"sku":"9783775727013","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775727013_8c0eb98f-edc4-407b-adaa-1c7c91de2531.jpg?v=1744146745","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16486-wangechi-mutu","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
