All of my exes

A dazzling, carnal image—quite literally—where kitsch becomes a vehicle for critique. All of my exes presents a close-up of the female body as a canvas of failed affections: tattooed and crossed-out names (Alexander, Philip, Isabella...) reveal a narrative of romantic cycles, marked by desire, naïve infatuation, and the compulsive repetition of mistakes. Only “Sebastian” remains uncrossed—for now.

The photograph operates as a visual satire on the recklessness of love, but also as a mirror of the social constructs that regulate the body and sexuality, especially through a gendered lens. Who is allowed to make the same romantic mistakes over and over without being judged?

Shot from a low angle, without revealing the character’s face, the image heightens her objectified and sexualized dimension. Yet the portrait is less of a person than of a myth—or perhaps just a rumor: do the tattoos actually exist? Or are they projections, symbolic marks of a story repeated so often that no one knows if it ever truly happened?

Small details—the hand grazing the skin, the snake-shaped ring, the hidden heart—evoke desire, sin, and temptation. But they also allude to the moral weight imposed on those who dare to live outside the prescribed script.

Furthermore, when the initials of the tattooed names (Alexander, Philip, Isabella, Sebastian) are joined, they form the word Apis, meaning “bee” in Latin. In the artist’s symbolic universe, the bee is a recurring motif, often hidden within her works. Here, it is subtly integrated through the names themselves, reinforcing the enigmatic and narrative character of the image.

1. Handling

Use Gloves: Always handle the photograph with cotton gloves to avoid leaving grease or moisture marks. A pair of cotton gloves is included inside the package.

Avoid Direct Contact: Do not touch the photograph directly with your hands. Grease and moisture can deteriorate the surface of the print.

2. Storage

Controlled Environment: Store the artwork in a cool, dry place, preferably at a room temperature between 10ºC and 30ºC with a relative humidity between 49% and 60%.

Individual Protection: If you have purchased more than one photograph, never stack them without protection between each one. Place tissue paper or any other soft paper between them to avoid damage.

3. Display

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Do not expose the artwork to direct sunlight to prevent fading.

UV Protection: If you decide to display the artwork, ensure it is protected by glass or methacrylate with UV protection.

Frame Materials: If framing the artwork, use acid-free materials for the frame and mat. If the frame is made of wood and comes into direct contact with the photograph, it must be natural wood and unvarnished.

4. Adhesives and Mounting

Acid-Free Adhesives: Use acid-free adhesives to avoid yellow marks and deterioration of the support. Any other type of adhesive can cause long-term damage.

Unrolling from Tube: If the photograph was sent in a tube, do not attempt to roll it back up after unrolling. This can cause permanent damage.

Drawer Storage: If you choose to store the artwork rather than display it, do so in a drawer and protect it with tissue paper or another soft paper to prevent scratches and damage.
