Abstract
In her collagist works of the 1980s, Barbara Kruger «appropriates» images taken from fashion magazines and advertisement where the woman, subjected to the patriarchal system of vision, is passively configured as castration and absence. Kruger warns against this mechanism, urging us to critically interrogate the image and to finally find an autonomous, active and self-determined voice.
