Using the bodies of friends, colleagues, and herself, Aguilar’s singular practice exploits the medium of photographic portraiture to depict myriad experiences beyond the able-bodied, white, middle-class, heteronormative body ideals found in mainstream or most fine-art (male-authored) images of women (and sometimes men)—unclothing as it were the subjects she portrays. All kidding aside, (apologies to the Spanish Queen Maria Louisa pictured above, painted also by Goya) the Maja paintings are among Goya’s most famous works of art in an oeuvre that spans a lifetime, that is visually unique. After his illness, Goya, feeling cut off from other people, turned inward and started painting strange and mysterious images from his imagination.

If you were going to photographed or have your portrait painted, would you let yourself be posed this way? Many clinics require patients to wear hospital gowns which are cold, revealing and depersonalising, even when there is no medical need for them.

The presence of clothing markedly prolonged the wet decay stage in both years with larval feeding occurring across the moist skin surface underneath clothing, as well as within and under the carcasses.

I have worked for an obstetrician who refused to see antenatal patients if they were wearing jeans as she felt it was disrespectful to her, and a breast surgeon who took great pains to expose only one breast at a time in initial consultations, but with post mastectomy patients did not accord them a similar courtesy in covering their torso. I love the fact I’m middle aged, have a professional job, am surrounded by straight people and I have ‘No Fucking Way’ tattoed on my chest. As a result, he withdrew his protection, and Goya decided it would be safer to leave Spain and seek asylum in France.

T oday I listened to a pioneering female professor of surgery discussing her life and experiences with a radio presenter. I love every inch of my skin but I love my back most because I’ve been waiting for 17 years to get it done, and its exactly how I wanted it.

One professor of paediatrics, writing in the BMJ on this topic, commented “If you want to be a bull-fighter, first, you have to look like one”.

Both she and the presenter commented on the extraordinary behaviour of someone who is willing to take off their clothes and allow a physical examination from an unknown person.
