This exhibition spotlights works of art from the Henry's holdings and private, local collections that apply collage methods and strategies to figurative representation. Ranging from messy cut-and-paste compositions to digital, constructed photography, these works use fractured parts as an expressive language. Bodies—fragmented, de-contextualized, or marked with seams—resist easy reading and invite questions about the social, cultural, and psychological conditions that shape and govern them. Destabilizing the myth and innocence of a picture-perfect world, these works reimagine conceptions of self and other, beauty, and individual freedom.

Artists in this exhibition include Daniel Gordon, Thomas Hirschhorn, Eva Kot'átková, and Wangechi Mutu, among others.
