Albrecht Dürer’s Instructions on Measurement, published in 1528, marks a transition of how the Western body is represented—shifting from a feudal metaphysical understanding to a rationalized capitalist subject. Using my own body to illustrate, On Measurement considers the historical specificity of Dürer’s work, and situates its representation within a lineage of technologies from 1528–today that aim to capture, measure, and analyze the body.\n\nTen 6″×9″ prints: side 1 is 30″×18″ and side 2 is 12″×63″.
