Analívia Cordeiro

Analívia Cordeiro - a female perspective in media art.

Considered a pioneer in both video art and computer-based video dance, as well as an innovator in body art, the Brazilian artist, dancer, and choreographer Analívia Cordeiro (*1954) has been developing a continuous and intense body of work since the early 1970s. Her work explores the relationships between body, movement, visual and audiovisual art, as well as media art.

"No matter what age, no matter how much dance experience, everyone can learn through movement." (A. Cordeiro)

Since the early 1970s, Analívia Cordeiro has been one of the first female video artists to influence all of South America's media art. This publication presents the artist's body of work up to the present. It includes an introductory text by the editor, an interview with the artist, and a selection of texts by various authors and the artist herself.

An extensive section of works is featured, with numerous illustrations, historical documents, and photographs, as well as a detailed biography and bibliography to complete the book.
