From 1968 to 1973, I carried out a number of sculptures in polyester.
The solo show, held in 1973, at the Palazzo del Turismo in Milan highlighted two aspects that would become constant in my work:
• The pleasure of experimenting technique in the investigation of formal
solutions for morphologically different materials;
• the questioning of meaning within my own art-making.
In November 1974, I published: Lines
Complex Beings, an art-book. In
it I expressed my refusal of an abstract and impersonal conception
of art.
In 1976 I participated in Magma curated by Romana Loda, the first international exhibition of women artists ever held in Italy.
The photographs on Ulrike Meinhof 1976 I stopped a moment of piety.
In the 1977 performance Afanisi 1977 I
assumed the psycho-analytic point of view in order to speak
against its excluding rigidity; in the 1978 performance Narcissus
versus Narcissus, the resort to myth allows me to bring out
the dramatic contradictory nature of every identification with
a fixed identity.
