Book description: Ostfildern-Ruit: Hatje Cantz, 2000. Hardback, not issued with dj. First edition. Fine with two light scratches to the back cover. 176 pages; 98 color photographic plates; 8.5 x 11.5 inches. Includes a biography, exhibition history, list of lectures, bibliography and list of performances. SIGNED BY BEECROFT and inscribed. Out of Print. VB 08-36 documents 29 of Beecroft's performances from 1994 to 1998. Her work is a complex fusion of conceptual issues and aesthetic concerns, focusing on large-scale performance art, usually involving live female models (often nude). She sets up a structure for the participants in her live events to create their own ephemeral composition. The performances are existential encounters between models and audience, their shame and their expectations. Each performance is made for a specific location and often references the political, historical, or social associations of the place where it is held. Beecroft's work is intended to provoke questions around identity politics and voyeurism in the complex relationship between viewer, model and context. Nudes.
