Uncompromising Female Aesthetic Subjectivity: Ontological and Ethical Self in Contemporary Art (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783110670639)

The book provides a comparison of contemporary art by analyzing female
aesthetic subjectivity within a global context.
The starting point is a
comparison between the work of Tracey Karima Emin and He Chengyao.

Kwan
Kiu Leung demonstrates why their work constitutes not only the self, but
they practice an ontological identification relationship between
subjectivity and artwork that exhibits three aspects of their
subjectivity: performativity, visibility, and univocity. Furthermore, it
reveals an ontological and ethical self within their naked
self-portraits.
