About
Why this artist matters now
Elsie Attenhofer was a Swiss performance artist whose practice emerged during the experimental decades of the 1960s and beyond. Working across live action and embodied gesture, she positioned her body and movement as primary material in an era when performance was establishing itself as a distinct artistic medium. Her work engaged with the temporal and ephemeral nature of the live event, resisting documentation and commodity form.
