Untitled (tesoura - scissors) (1974–77)
Video, 4’, B&W, silent
In the 1977 video, shot in black and white, we watch for minutes as the artist cuts body hair with a pair of scissors — beard, hair, eyebrows, and finally her own eyelashes. Everything is in close-up shots, details, and different cuts for each moment in which we see the artist using the scissors on her own body and that of another person.
