About The Work
In Chanel No. 82, Rachel Harrison juxtaposes the head of an endangered Andean Condor with that of an idealized woman—a mannequin. Harrison identifies questions about the nature of desirability based on rarity, appearance, and standards of beauty, and notes its reproduceability as an image by edging the photoprint with a chart used by printers and photographers to match colors accurately for reproduction.
