The artwork, entitled “Corrections,” is a figurative piece created by Vito Acconci in 1972, aligning with the Conceptual Art movement. The work comprises a series of six video stills arranged in two columns of three.
Each still captures a monitor displaying a video of Acconci performing an activity involving the back of his head and neck. The stills are accompanied by handwritten notes that document and reflect upon the activity shown. These notes provide context and insight into the process, exploring themes of self-correction and manipulation of one’s own image. The presentation of the artwork emphasizes the performative aspect and the artist’s introspective engagement with his own physical form.
