'Feministisch statement dat verrast en overdondert', Het Parool, 12 november 2021
Balancing between the literal and figurative, art and protest, Lara Schnitger uses sharp irony to evoke women’s stereotypes through explicit figures and images. Based on a sculpture from the 4th century, 16 Nipples are Enough is a voodoo-like figure with sexual catchphrases written on its fabric. For this work, Schnitger drew from the tradition of feminist agitprop, resulting in a witty aesthetic that neatly balances the literal and figurative.
