After her experiments with video, Lili Dujourie turns to slide projection. Untitled (Blauw naakt (Blue Nude)) is a projection with two slides of a female nude in front of a blue drape. The two images which are projected next to one another, are distinguished by a different pose. The naked woman and the drape refer to the baroque, more in particular to Eve on Van Eyck's The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb. The model becomes a tableau vivant.
Untitled (Blauw naakt) is Dujouries first work in which velvet plays a prominent role. Afterwards, she'll often make use of this fabric. Untitled (Blauw naakt) is a contemporary still life because the model's environment is consciously shown – a piece of the floor, a heater. It isn’t a portrait.
