Iphigenie (Iphigenia), Frankfurt Experimenta, Photographs by Ute Klophaus
1969
Joseph Beuys presents "Iphigenie" as a series of eight vintage photographs documenting a performance or action piece, captured by photographer Ute Klophaus at Frankfurt's Experimenta venue. The work exemplifies Beuys's expansion of art beyond traditional objects into ephemeral actions and processes, with the photograph serving as a crucial document of the artist's performative practice. The aluminum frame positions these photographic traces as a finished artwork, elevating the documentation itself while preserving the temporal and conceptual essence of the original event.
