Photography by Pedro
Hypatia of Alexandria Reimagined. Photography by Pedro Bonatto. Portrayed by Anjelica Scannura. Body paint art by Natasha Kudashkina.
This portrait reimagines Greek astronomer, philosopher and poet Hypatia of Alexandria, who was the last director of the Alexandria Library. The body paint art refers to her design of a flat astrolabe, a navigation device based on the positions of stars which was consistently used for centuries after her death. For her views, she was accused of witchcraft and godlessness and killed by a mob of early Christians.
