Through a combination of her celebrated performance pieces and independent projects, Export challenges conventional representations of the female body in film and media. Her controversial works, such as Touch and Tap Cinema and Action Pants: Genital Panic, were among the first to reexamine the ways in which the female body is depicted. This volume explores how Export's photography contributes to these projects, serving as documentation, experimentation, or independent works. Spanning decades from the late 1960s, her conceptual photographs critically examine visual images and the functioning of mass media. Rarely seen publicly, these photographs provide unique insights into Export's oeuvre. Situated at the intersection of film, video, and body art, they are causally linked to socially critical and feminist issues surrounding subject and space, performance and visual image, body and gaze, and femininity and representation. The volume traces Export's photographic work as parallel to her early performance pieces and later in her career, as she investigates various aspects of the photographic image, from one-point perspective to cropping, and the temporal implications of static individual images. Accompanying the first exhibition dedicated to showcasing Export's photographs, this stunning volume was produced in close collaboration with the artist, reflecting her exacting standards and vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1128g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 286 x 234 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783791379623\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44259040854266,"sku":"9783791379623","price":32.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_d60e1783-6308-404d-9206-e18b8334d568.jpg?v=1685380746","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/valie-export-photography-9783791379623","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
