In 1994 Marlene Dumas began ‘Rejects’, a selection of portraits previously rejected from other series of her work. The artist talks about the works in this episode of TateShots.
The collection of anonymous and well-known faces has now evolved into its own stand-alone piece which the artist herself is constantly changing and reconstructing. It is the first artwork visitors will encounter in her exhibition ‘The Image as Burden’ at Tate Modern.
