RECIPROCITY Reciprocity is a series of performances done in public spaces, exploring perceptions of the covered and exposed female body. Issues of body image are addressed through the artist’s interest in the anthropomorphic qualities of clothing. The final installation of Reciprocity is a play on the sensation of the gaze. Whilst the audience watches the work, the work simultaneously re-creates the sensory experience of being watched.

Veronica Habib is a multidisciplinary artist who fashions her work with themes concerning body image, shame and sexuality. She explores her subject matter through the conduit of clothing and how this in turn, relates to sensory perception. Veronica plays on the reveal and conceal nature of clothing to create performative and interactive garments, challenging her audiences perceptions as they associate their actions with violation, pleasure, destruction and play.
