A path in art 1970/1980

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.
