Measuring Gustav Vingeland's sculptures

The photographic series is a record of an author performance by Jiří Žák and Matěj Pavlík. This measurement does not play the neutral role of the academic measurement of the proportions of a human body. Rather, it refers to phrenology and eugenics, which is associated with the rationalization of human bodies in the name of theories of human races. It should be noted that these phrenological measurements were practiced on the Sámi people in Norway until quite recently. The gesture of phrenological measurement alludes to Vigenland's alleged sympathies with the fascist regime of the time. Does it matter if Gustav Vigeland was a Nazi sympathizer, considering he designed the Nobel Peace Prize medal?
