For Yakovleva, the medium of the paper cut functions as a complex technique of visibility and invisibility. On a simple level, one sees things that aren’t there. The intervening space of the shadow forms the line that circumscribes the depicted body. This is one of the basic operational modes of erotic photography as well as the artistic and literary principle of pouring flattery on the female subject (“curvy stars”), something the artist breaks with not only her choice of motifs but moreover the technique itself.
