VALIE EXPORT, Adjungierte Dislokationen, 1973
3x16mm film
black-white
no sound
8min

examines issues of spatial perception and experience, using technical apparatus as sensory extensions of the body. EXPORT straps an 8 mm camera to her stomach and back, functioning as a mobile tripod. She moves from indoors into urban space and then out into the countryside, striking different poses while the two camera record views in opposite directions. The result of three different recording perspectives are projected simultaneously side-by-side, juxtaposing and complementing a seemingly neutral mode of representation with the perspective contingent upon the body.
