Karin Bos, 'Behind the Stars', 2000-2001. Detailed view. Courtesy the artist.

Karin Bos (NL) is a visual artist based in Amsterdam. Her works often question gender roles.

The work 'Behind the Stars', a US flag, is made of porn ads collected in New York's free culture programme magazines.
The conflicting relationship between puritanism, with merely effective censorship stars and banners, and excess in displaying women
as wares are central themes in this work.
