“Notes on Movement II (Body as Place)” is an artwork created by Vito Acconci in 1972, during the Conceptual Art movement. The artwork is of the figurative genre.
The artwork features a collection of photographs and handwritten notes on graph paper. Each photograph documents different poses and movements of a human body in various positions and locations. The text around the images is written in red ink and provides reflections, explanations, and instructions regarding the movements depicted in the photos. The dynamic layout and annotations indicate a deep engagement with the physicality of the body and its interaction with space. The handwritten notes suggest an experimental and performative approach to understanding and representing the body through movement. The overall presentation emphasizes the conceptual nature of Acconci’s work, where the body is used as a subject and a point of reference within the spatial environment.
