Valie Export* ::  Encirclement, from ‘Körperkonfigurationen’ (Body Configurations), 1972-76. In this series the artist positioned herself in several points of the city of Wien and mimed through her body the built environment immediately around. Her actions are the representation of her own states of mind, communicated by her postures and gestures. Through a performance that assumes the form of an apparently passive adaptation to the configuration of the city or the landscape, the artist reacts to the built environment in a completely different way than the one implied by the urban design.
