Über den Autor

Vito Acconci was an influential American artist known for his groundbreaking work in performance art, video, and installation. Born in 1940 in The Bronx, New York, Acconci initially pursued a career in poetry before transitioning into visual arts. His early work was characterized by provocative themes that explored the relationship between the body, space, and audience. One of his most notable pieces, "Seedbed," involved him lying beneath a ramp in a gallery and engaging with the audience through audio recordings, a concept that challenged traditional boundaries of art and engagement.
