Elon Musk needs a waxing
Body hair and wax on canvas
2017
Elon Musk needs a waxing shows a depiction of the space capsule Dragon Space X drawn with the artists leg hair. The drawn capsule was developed by Elon Musk company SpaceX. Elon Musk, how is known for being an engineering visionary and one of the most influential CEOs worldwide, represents the celebrated heteronormative manliness which is closely associated with power and capitalism. In contrast the artist chose to use female body hair, an intimate and life known material, for making this technical drawing. The glorified vision of progress and conquest turns into something daily and bodily. Even the most complex machines are constructed by people with leg hair.
