In a series of works produced between 1970 and 1974, Oppenhiem uses his own body as a site to challenge the self: he explored the boundaries of personal risk, transformation, and communication.1981 opened a new chapter, with machine pieces, complex constructions which he used to create a metaphor for the artistic process.
