About The Work
Renee Cox is an artist famous for breaking cross-cultural boundaries. She is known for using herself as a model in her photography and for inserting African Americans into contexts in which they have not been represented historically. In Basket Case, Cox poses in front of a Chinese building, wearing a traditional Chinese basket used for carrying wood. Cox says about her practice, "My body is part of my work, in a way. I've made that decision to use my body…if I use someone else's body, then I have to deal with all these people saying I'm exploiting someone."
