Export’s multi-disciplinary oeuvre transcends any definitive categorisation. An early pioneer of performance, installation and video art, she has consistently broken through the boundaries separating media genres, often using her own body as an artistic medium. From the very beginning, photography played a key role in Export’s creative practice – be it for documentary or experimental purposes, as an element in her multimedia installations, or as an art form in its own right.
