In their art practices, they create prison-like and claustrophobic environments that reflect their inner selves, their traumas and their anxieties. Through the embodiment of space, they portray themselves, thus, blurring the limits between inner self and outer world, between body and space. By closely analysing their work and their lives, this article sets forth the idea that their work can be read as a dynamic and visual autobiography, as kinetic and psychological self-portraits of these two female artists.

In the information and digital era, new technological, medical and scientific developments like genetic engineering, biotechnology, surgical and hormonal procedures and the Internet permeate our lives, affecting the perception, representation and understanding of the self. Through the analysis of the work of Lynn Hershman Leeson, ORLAN and Francesca da Rimini, this article examines contemporary art practices that reflect on these current issues, mirroring contemporary changes, subverting homogenising and repressive articulations of identity, and considering the new malleability, reproducibility and plurality of the self. These art practices ultimately represent the merging of h...

En sus practicas artisticas crean entornos claustrofobicos que evocan carceles. Estos entornos reflejan su “yo” mas interno, sus traumas y su ansiedad. A traves de la simbiosis del cuerpo y el espacio se retratan a si mismas, difuminando de esta manera los limites entre el “yo” y el mundo externo, entre la psique y el lugar habitado. Al analizar en detalle su obra y sus vidas este articulo plantea la idea de que su creacion pueda interpretarse como una autobiografia dinamica y visual, como un autorretrato cinetico y psicologico de estas dos artistas.

A pesar de que su nieto siempre negara cualquier influencia suya, parece fundamental recordar que el famoso psicoanalista también abordó el tema del primitivismo, en especial entre los años 1911 y 1912. Sigmund nos sorprende con elucubraciones sobre la relación entre el sueño y el retorno a la infancia y al hombre primitivo, así como también describe a los hombres primitivos
