Isa Genzken is in her work definitively challenged by the notion of sculpture and its practice. Here Genzken engages herself with the artist’s self-representation in a tension between a found internet image and her identity showing herself horizontally hidden behind the head of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa“. Genzken says about ready mades: ‘I have always said that with any sculpture you have to be able to say, although this is not a ready-made, it could be one. That’s what a sculpture has to look like. It must have a certain relation to reality’.
