‘Iiu Susiraja: A style called a dead fish’ is NEW from MoMA PS1

“Sausage cupid” (2019) is reproduced from Iiu Susiraja: A style called a dead fish, published to accompany the critically acclaimed exhibition on view through September 4, 2023, at MoMA PS1. (The New York Times’ Roberta Smith writes: “These powerful works take aim at a dizzying array of contemporary body image issues, obsessions and taboos, and from different angles, including fat shaming, fitness, obesity, standards of beauty, dysmorphia, self-loathing, self-love and of course sex,” while New York Magazine’s Jerry Saltz calls Susiraja’s self-portraiture “a vision you cannot look away from.” Designed in a small, 6x8-inch format and collecting just under 60 photographs alongside poems by the artist and essays by Jody Graf and Ruba Katrib, this volume is as compelling, unique and enigmatic as its title suggests.
