IT IS ABOUT THE HUMAN

What do visual artists have in common with anthropologists? Is it a fascination with human being and his physical form? What does the word family mean? Is family group of people biologically or mentally related? How we understand family nowadays? When we shuffle the individual members of several families and reassemble them into family units without biological relation and without partnership ties, will we know if they belong together or not? If I take a photo of twenty people's legs, will I know if they are good, bad, superior or inferior people? Is the Hrdlička’s collection really an example of the supremacy of the white race?
