The femme fatale is a myth; a projection; a construct. It represents a rigid, immutable female stereotype: the seductive, supposedly demonic woman who holds men spellbound. The catalogue to accompany the exhibition FEMME FATALE is dedicated to this scintillating, cliché-ridden and long male-dominated image. View - Power - Gender. It explores not only the artistic manifestations of the topic since 1800, but also embarks on a critical examination of the myth of the femme fatale throughout history, right up to the feminist deconstruction and appropriation of the idea.
