Patricia Lincke's staged photographs address social themes such as femininity, physicality, sexuality, and social norms. They can be clearly located in the context of feminist art and question attributions, exaggerate clichés, and deconstruct the image of the "ideal woman" by visually revealing its absurdity.
Patricia Lincke's works generate irritation, perhaps even discomfort. The exaggerated proliferation of breasts—a classic symbol of femininity and sexuality—is heightened to the point of absurdity. The viewer is confronted with an abundance that has a distancing, almost dehumanizing effect.
Her photographs are a haunting, visually powerful exploration of the female body image in our society. They confront the viewer and invite reflection on how bodies, gender, and role models are treated.
The works appear provocative, exaggerated, and at the same time humorous in a grotesque sense.
