tristetriste: Generic Man (1987) by Jana Sterbak Canadian artist Jana Sterbak is increasingly establishing herself as one of the most significant innovators in contemporary art. Ms. Sterbak had her international breakthrough in 1987 with her work Vanitas - a dress made from raw beef. It was a work of art that changed over time and by the time the exhibition closed the dress had taken on the appearance of dried-out leather. That same year she created Generic Man - a photograph of a man’s shaved head seen from the back, in which you notice a bar code apparently carved or tattooed in the subject’s neck. She has subsequently continued to create surprising works which leave no one unmoved.
