Theatrical, sinister, bizarre, disturbing and obscene could all be used to describe Messager's work, alot of her work questions society and tries to bring light to female empowerment, being brought up in a time where woman had very little rights, Messager took influence from this which shows in her work.
She portrays sex,
love, beauty, pain and power within alot of her pieces from a womans perspective, the way
she displays her work is what I like most. Her work is mainly installation
based, she’ll often have work pinned to
the wall, hanging from above, or scattered on the floor, this gives
the work a
sense of freedom, and is less restricted then most installation pieces, it also
allows viewers to see her work from an interesting perspective, as with a lot
of her work it’s place in an open space, hanging from the ceiling, you can walk
around to fully embrace it.
