Female Robot
1964
“I am implicated in the technical beauty of rockets, of the people who fly through space and the people who become robots.” (Kogelnik)
Space exploration captured Kiki Kogelnik's imagination in 1964 and infiltrated into her iconography. She used the Pop Art idiom to create hybrid, half-human, haIf-machine characters born out of her research into the body, which she modified by adding mechanical prostheses. Devoid of facial details and built on oppositions (hot acid colours/mechanical hardness), this strange floating cosmonaut is representative of her style, which she herself described as "Space Art".
