Valie Export Shorts Program
Director: Valie Export
1973 / 56min / DCP
A provocative program of short films by Export whose work, focused in her words, on “the body and moreover the female body,” can be viewed as both parallel to and a response against that of the male-dominated Viennese Actionists. Featuring the confrontational and mock-erotic Self-Portrait with Head; Touch Cinema, a document of Export’s taboo-busting performance piece; Man & Woman & Animal, an “assertion and affirmation of female sexuality and its independence from male values and pleasures” [Joanna Kierman]; Syntagma, a frenzied study of the fragmented female form; and Lust, per the director “a continuation of my previous work with the body as a vehicle for social codes.
