These dual, or multiple vantage points render the self sensitive to relations of power, as well as historically, politically, socially and emotionally shifting understandings of the body. Due to this sensitivity, the embodied self becomes a mirror of its time and context; as time penetrates it and continuously (re)shapes it.
With "Sincerely yours," Rebecca Lindsmyr explores diverse facets of the written signature, treating it as both symbolic expression and a bureaucratic, political, and social marker of subjectivity. engaging in a nuanced negotiation between expressivity and readability, Lindsmyr deliberately deconstructs her own gestures, spanning childhood drawings to legal documents, while examining the border between language and art. The work probes the complex relationship between the signature and notions of ‘the self,’ exploring its invocation in painting and its pivotal role as a core signifier of authenticity and value.
