Gina Pane
Gina Pane (* 1939 in Biarritz, † 1990 in Paris) was an Italian artist and an important representative of body art and performance art.
Work
Pane began in 1970 with their actions. These are particularly known for the inclusion of self-injury by the artist with glass, thorns, blades and fire. In 1981 she wrote partitions instead of live - actions execute. All actions performed by it are only documented by photography.
Gilbert Gatiellier describes in the catalog Gina Pane, the Le Lait Chaud action: " New Action in a private home clash of the elements of milk ( return to the sheltered childhood and the sterile, indifferent white) and blood (life, loss of blood, violence and death ) and the. juxtaposition of playful Intermezzen ( ball game, game rules ) and the words "Love - peace - cosmos" with the visualized violence ( the artist cuts through her white shirt through with a razor blade in the back ) After she has cut her face ( timeout. Western taboos of Beauty), GP point the camera at the audience, forcing her after she has so shaken the bulwark of their conditioning to communicate with itself. "
