Marilyn Monroe was an iconic figure in her time, known for her undeniable beauty. The mystery surrounding her sudden death elevated her to a legendary - almost immortal - status.

Recently, she has been seen by some feminists, like Gloria Steinem, as a proto-feminist, and artists like Andy Warhol immortalized her in their work. Items related to her, such as her famous dresses and even X-rays from her medical examinations, are sold for extreme prices.

However, on a personal note, Spank Moons had a unique connection to Marilyn Monroe through a story told by his father, who claimed to have met her during his time in the mercant navy in New York in 1952. The sailor said it was an unforgettable night.

Intrigued by it all, Spank Moons is on a personal quest to deconstruct the typical cliché image of Marilyn in order to reconstruct her persona, to remake and remodel her through his project 'Marilynisms'.

Met In Questa Tomba Oscura - The Skull within (pixelation as strategy of [dis]appearance), koppelt Spank Moons verwijzingen naar actuele fetisjbegrippen als digitale informatie en mobiele communicatie aan eeuwenoude thema’s als eros en thanatos. In die zin creëert hij een geactualiseerde, postmoderne versie van het 17e eeuwse vanitasmotief. Dat getuigt van enig lef. De vergankelijkheid van schoonheid en rijkdom, de vluchtigheid van de menselijke verlangens en driften is een thema dat zowat haaks staat op wat de meeste media ons vandaag voorschotelen. Moons gebruikt de hedendaagse media om hen op een elegante manier te ondermijnen. In die zin koppelt hij esthetiek aan subversiviteit. Zoals de surrealisten al wisten: schoonheid kan scherp zijn.
