This is a black-and-white photo of a woman holding a folded white shirt. She’s wearing a simple black top, dark pants, and low-heeled sandals. The background is plain, and there’s a small photo of a man in the top right corner. The words “MALE-TESTED FASHIONS” are printed at the top, and “ULI KNECHT” is stamped at the bottom. The image looks like it’s from an old fashion ad, but it’s been altered—stitched together at the edges. The shirt she’s holding is the only bright spot in the otherwise monochrome picture. Look up Rosemarie Trockel next to see how artists reuse old images in new ways.
