About Untitled

The artwork, titled “Untitled” by the artist Kiki Smith, created between 1987 and 1990, is a representative piece of the Feminist Art movement. It falls within the genre of installation art and is currently located at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.

The artwork consists of what appears to be a row of twelve silver-colored, reflective containers arranged linearly on a white pedestal. Each container is uniform in size and shape, resembling traditional jars or carboys, and they collectively form a cohesive installation. The jars feature engraved text, each inscribed with the names of different bodily fluids in a standard, minimalist font. The reflective nature of the containers not only allows them to act as mirrors, capturing and distorting the surrounding environment, but also evokes a sense of medical sterility and detachment. The presentation of bodily fluids in this manner challenges traditional notions of the body, identity, and normative perspectives on human nature, aligning with the themes commonly explored within feminist art.
