With her soft
features and big brown eyes, Vikander is like the action heroine - as - girl next door, and she looks nothing like the Lara Croft of the video games,
whose anatomical exaggerations and ridiculous clothing choices (hot pants and twin gun holsters, anyone?)
Her presentation is disconcertingly similar to Mike Kelley's curatorial venture of 1993, The Uncanny (see my second travelogue entry), which not only included some of the same artists and pieces — for instance, Paul McCarthy's Children's
Anatomical Educational Figure (1990), a giant ragdoll
whose internal organs spill out of its stomach — but also
featured a photographic series of mannequins and prosthetics by Sherman herself.
