This publication brings together the contributions to the symposium on VALIE EXPORT on July 6, 2023 on the occasion of the exhibition »VALIE EXPORT. Retrospective« at the Albertina, Vienna.

»Special thanks go to the speakers of the symposium: Rosemarie Brucher, Brigitta Burger-Utzer, Silvia Eiblmayr, Monika Faber, Sabine Folie, Walter Moser, Nicole Scheyerer, Thomas D. Trummer and Mechtild Widrich. Through their profound perceptions and references, they have opened up new perspectives on my work and inspired me to rediscover the various facets of performance, photography, film and the encounters and movements that accompany them. As a result, I have become familiar with a wide range of body images, performative images, static images and moving images, as well as the facial canvas of the screen medium.
This publication is of particular value to me as it also documents the carefully curated compilation of my works that Walter Moser has meticulously and expertly compiled over many years. This collection makes it possible to trace the development of my oeuvre and to grasp the significance of my media, multimedia and intermedia.« (VALIE EXPORT)

Walter Moser is art historian and head of the Photographic Collection of the Albertina, Vienna.
