Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Felicitas Thun-Hohenstein (ed.) for the Austrian Federal Chancellery presents a collection featuring 35 artists, including Bernadette Anzengruber, Renate Bertlmann, VALIE EXPORT, and Francesca Woodman. This work explores self-photography as a performative act, emphasizing the role of the self-timer in allowing a retrospective gaze. The book delves into feminist theoretical positions reflected in the photographic practices of notable artists such as Carolee Schneemann, Martha Wilson, and Birgit Jürgenssen. Through interviews and commentaries, it highlights the artists' connections to queer and gay theory, minority rights, postcolonial studies, and ecological movements. The introductory texts by Thun-Hohenstein and Abigail Solomon-Godeau trace the intricate relationship between female self-photography, emancipation history, gender theory, and performance, providing a comprehensive context for understanding the evolving landscape of feminist art. This anthology not only showcases diverse artistic expressions but also situates them within broader social and political discussions, making it a significant contribution to contemporary art discourse.
