Produced during a period when Wilke was challenging conventions surrounding gender, self-representation, and vulnerability, the photograph became one of her most recognisable images. Its use here links the fair to the expanded history of feminist performance and lens-based practices that helped shape contemporary video art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse functions as a concise snapshot of the international art world in 2011.
