Jana Sterbak (Jana Štěrbáková) is a multidisciplinary artist of Czech origin. Born: March 19, 1955 via Wikipedia

Best recognized for her work Vanitas: Flesh dress for an albino anorectic (1987), a dress sewn from raw meat, Jana Sterbak forges conceptual, architectonic objects that encourage their wearers to experience bodily and out-of-body freedom. Drawn to notions of doubling, physicality, and self-awareness, she favors juxtapositions between vanity and decomposition as a reminder of human vulnerability. This is evident in her dress of raw meat, which is meant to rest on a hanger until it rots and deteriorates. Such wearable, cage-like constructions allude to technological and societal constraints and a quest for freedom beyond corporeality. Sterbak’s art is marked by a dark humor and absurdist themes likely influenced by her childhood in Prague and education under Marxist and Leninist systems as well as the work of such writers as Franz Kafka and Jaroslav Hasek. via artsy

Text: I want you to feel the way I do: There’s barbed wire wrapped all around my head and my skin grates on my flesh from the inside. How can you be so comfortable only 5″ to the left of me? I don’t want to hear myself think, feel myself move. It’s not that I want to be numb, I want to slip under your skin: I will listen for the sound you hear, feed on your thought, wear your clothes. Now I have your attitude and you ‘re not comfortable anymore. Making them yours you relieved me of my opinions, habits, impulses. I should be grateful but instead… you ‘re beginning to irritate me: I am not going to live with myself inside your body, and I would rather practice being new on someone else.
