Archive: H13 2007 Niederoesterreich Preis für Performance: Roberta Lima
The Art Prize H13 2007 goes to Roberta Lima and her performance "Lights Out!"
„Body and Space are the subjects of my work. I experience performance as a very instant form of starting discussions. By exposing my own body, I feel an enormous necessity to position myself socially and politically.”
„Lights Out!” is a critique and metaphor for the adaptation of the female body to standards of society and for the construction and deconstruction of femininity. The creation, transformation and destruction of item of clothing are performed with a touch of irony and humour.” (Roberta Lima)
