Leora Farber interrogates the construction of gender and how colonisation and Western perception affects one's feminity. She explores the female body as a discourse - "a site of plenitude and pain, control and excess, order and chaos, matter and form".
She uses the 'lived-in-body' as a site of experience, for example in her exhibition Dis-location/Relocation she worked with Strangelove to create a series of images of aloe leaves been grafted into her skin.
