Allo specchio: le pioniere del video in Europa tra identità e rappresentazione.

Leuzzi, Laura

Authors



Abstract

Identity and representation are dominant themes in the works of women pioneers in video art in the 1970s and early 1980s. Video was agile both from a conceptual point of view (free from the heavy patriarchal legacy of traditional artistic techniques) and from a practical point of view (free from the need for large numbers of supporting crew and lengthy development/production times). It therefore offered the opportunity to experience body and image in an intimate and direct way, and to innovate the genres of self-portraiture and portraiture.
