About this episode
This episode explores VALIE EXPORT's work in challenging societal norms around nudity and the body.
VALIE EXPORT spent her career forcing audiences to confront the politics of the body directly. Through performance, film, nudity, and public intervention, the Austrian artist challenged assumptions about obscenity, spectatorship, gender, and control long before those questions became central to digital culture. This episode looks back at a body of work that treated nudity not as decoration or provocation alone, but as a site of power, conflict, and liberation. More at www dot planetnude dot co.
