Published on the occasion of the exhibition for the debutand award of the Akademie der Bildenden Kunste, Munich 2006. Featured in the catalogue are Japanese artist Fumie Sasabuchi's drawings on images from fashion magazines. Bernhart Schwenk writes, 'Fumie Sasabuchi manipulates individual pages from international fashion magazines, her ballpoint pen serving her as a kind of imaginary scalpel with which she devotes herself to the wearers of sumptuous clothes, rather like an anatomist or a taxidermist, opening up their immaculate surfaces to carefully expose what is lying hidden beneath them. The result is hybrid images of the body which merge the carefully orchestrated aesthetics of advertising with the clinical naturalism of anatomical studies — drawings which, it must be said, most definitely would not have been published in this way in the kind of glossies from which Fumie Sasabuchi draws her material.' Artist biography is provided in the catalogue.
