With unyielding critical force and a pioneering spirit, VALIE EXPORT has shaped feminist art for decades. Her work is driven by resistance, a belief in change, and a deep analysis of society, politics, and culture.
A recurring motif in her art is the cube-shaped die—appearing as architecture, sculptural object, acoustic presence, and symbol of chance, risk, and structure. In photomontages, videos, and spatial installations, EXPORT weaves the die into a complex visual language that connects the body with systems of power and technology.
As part of the EVN wallpaper project, EXPORT transforms a corporate stairwell into a dynamic continuum of sight and sound. Digitally generated images of dice in varying sizes cover the walls, accompanied by the rolling sound of dice—a sonic backdrop that evokes both play and unpredictability. The installation invites movement, passage, and reflection.
This book explores EXPORT’s multifaceted engagement with the die as form, concept, and political metaphor—offering a compelling insight into the practice of one of the most influential artists of our time.
