Description

summary edit

my body — a Wunderkammer is a semi-autobiographical hypertext combining text and image in an exploration of the body. It features a line drawing of a woman's body with clickable parts such as the elbows, hips, and tattoos, which bring the reader to pages about these specific parts with written anecdotes accompanied by woodcut-style portraits. Blue hyperlinked phrases connect the memoirs to one another, allowing the user to experience the author's body as both anatomically categorized and narratively intertwined, inscribed with histories and fictions.
