Carolee Schneemann

Four Kisses + Detail (Vesper); Dead Engineer-Kosovo; Hallucinatory I; and Hallucinatory II

Four works by pioneering feminist artist Carolee Schneemann confront themes of intimacy, mortality, and political violence through a striking juxtaposition of imagery. The suite moves between tender, close-up depictions of kisses and deeply unsettling documentation of conflict, specifically referencing the human cost of the Kosovo War, alongside hallucinatory, dreamlike compositions. Produced using chromogenic and Iris printing techniques, the works reflect Schneemann's enduring commitment to challenging the boundaries between the personal and the political.

Medium
One Chromogenic print and three Iris prints, on wove papers, with full margins.
