Publisher's Synopsis
Throughout history man has never before felt so insecure about the space that surrounds him, and never before has he been so aware of it. Elvira Hufschmid's performance/video actions and installations operate between the poetic traces of gesture and the phenomenological presence of bodies situated in space. From her earlier work reprising Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase to her recent work, she has developed an atlas of body actions in landscape, architecture, and infrastructure.
