Notes

1. The donor for the Visible Woman was not a convicted criminal and she has remained anonymous. Waldby suggests that her use in the project did not require the same public justification because, as a woman her body is ‘always/already marked as useful yet passive matter, and as reproductive matter already belonging in some sense to the community’ (Waldby, 2000, p. 54).
