Toe-Touch

Vito Acconci

1969 · Gelatin silver print · Photographs

In this work, Acconci produced two photographs from the upper (hands over head) and lower (touching toes) extensions of his body; the results are less depictions of a scene than indices of a movement prescribed by the limits of the body in two directions.
