Interior Scroll – Carolee Schneemann

_{This print is one of several documentation works from Schneemann’s peformance in which she read aloud from a scroll of paper from her vagina.}

_{Tate website: “Tate’s print comprises two black and white photographs of the artist on the table during the second part of the performance when she was withdrawing the scroll. A column of text on either side of the photographs elaborates the words written on the scroll. The text was taken from a super 8 film Schneemann had begun in 1973 entitled Kitch’s Last Meal. It recounts a conversation with ‘a structuralist film-maker’ in which the artist sets intuition and bodily processes, traditionally associated with ‘woman’, against traditionally ‘male’ notions of order and rationality.” ^{(https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/schneemann-interior-scroll-p13282)}}
