27.9 x 34.9 (Overall) (centimeters, height x width)
Description:
One in a series of photos showing Schneemann, a a slim, light skinned woman in her mid-30s, performing her piece "Interior Scroll." The basic lines of Schneemann's body are outlined in paint, and her hair is braided back from her face. She is seated on top of a folding table, nude, reading from the scroll, a long wavy piece of paper. This is a wider shot than the previous images. She's brightly lit in the corner of the room and in front of her, outside of the light, are two photographers who appear to be male and a filmmaker who appears to be female. The photographers are closer to her: one crouches and one stands. The filmmaker (whose camera may be a super-8) is farther back than the others and toward the right edge of the frame. Other material (a table, sevveral chairs, some bags, etc) is piled near the third person, and the floor of the room softly reflects the light.
Notes:
Edition I/VII + 4 AP Portfolio of 13 sequential photographs documenting Schneeman's live performance in East Hampton, New York in August 1975.
