Carolee Schneemann, Monograph Zine
I thought of the vagina in many ways, physically, conceptually:
as a sculptural form, an architectural referent, the sources of
sacred knowledge, ecstasy, birth passage, transformation.
I saw the vagina as a translucent chamber of which the serpent
was an outward model: enlivened by it's passage from the visible
to the invisible, a spiraled coil ringed with the shape of desire.
This zine reviews the main works of Carolee Schneemann. During the 1960s and 1970s, Carolee Schneemann extended her visual principles out of the canvas as a painter by basing her work on performances, characterized by research on visual traditions, taboos, and the body of the individual in relation to social bodies.
