Yasumasa Morimura is one of the most internationally renowned Japanese contemporary artists. Underlying his work is a lucid understanding of the power of well known images. He uses his own body as a medium for the disruption of western pictorial convention to produce a tribute to, and ironic critical view of Western painting. Rather than reject images, Morimura thinks it may be more profitable to occupy them.

This large scale photograph depicts the biblical story of Judith who beheaded the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her town. The image is based upon a painting by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach, and is presented here in a style borrowed from the 15th century painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo whose figures were made up of fruit and vegetables.
