Chicken Knickers by Sarah Lucas
This photograph of a raw chicken covering the crotch of what appears to be a young female has a shock factor quality as well as showing a sense of humour. I like the tight crop of it, and the anonymous nature of how the subject has been presented. The tones are soft and the colours desaturated. The chicken here could reference a derogatory term used to refer to women. The presence of the chicken, twinned with the typically 'old lady' underwear, seems to quash all sexuality often linked to photographs of women.
