Adjungierte Dislokation I

Here, the perception of space and spatial continuity is conveyed by two Super-8 film cameras strapped to the artist's breast and back. A third 16mm film camera documents the parallel and diametrically opposed scanning of various spatial situations, moving from a room over corridors, the street and a square to the open countryside. Finally, all three perspectives are projected in parallel, so that the recording process is represented alongside the filmic representation of the environment. Dislocation = spatial distribution, adjugated = conjoining of that which is separate.
Since 1967, the Austrian artist Valie EXPORT (1940, Linz ) has concentrated on what is known as expanded cinema, since 1970 on video and since 1973 on 16mm film. These days, body art, laser installations, photography and drawing are also her fields of work. Her work has been presented in many American and western European cities.
