卡若琳‧詩妮曼 Carolee Schneemann
卡若琳‧詩妮曼是一位具開創性的表演者及多領域藝術家。她從1960年代開始運用膠卷和錄像創作。她挑戰情慾、性別以及社會建構下的女性身體，打破禁忌併重新定義情色。她在1970年代初期的表演同時是越界並且帶來重大影響。詩妮曼的創作持續地挑戰且探索藝術創作、宗教儀式與文化中的女性情慾。

Carolee Schneemann, a groundbreaking performance and multidisciplinary artist, has used film and video since the 1960s. Shattering taboos and redefining the notion of the erotic, she confronts sexuality, gender, and the social construction of the female body. Her seminal performances of the 1970s were as transgressive as they were influential. Schneemann continues to provoke, as she explores female sexuality in relation to art-making, ritual, and culture.

參展作品:
《無盡之吻》 Infinity Kisses
《無盡之吻》總結了詩妮曼對於人類與貓之間的感官溝通的探索。影片整合了124張自拍幻燈片系列，在《無盡之吻》中紀錄了八年之間與愛貓的互動與表達。《無盡之吻》將這些影像轉化為錄像，其中每個切分的影格都由部分原尺寸影像與放大的細節所組合而成。
（紀念兩隻愛貓: Cluny 1980-1988。Vesper 1990-1998）
Infinity Kisses - The Movie completes Schneemann's exploration of human and feline sensual communication. It incorporates extracts of the original 124 self-shot 35mm color slide photo sequence, Infinity Kisses, in which the expressive self-determination of the ardent cat was recorded over an eight-year period. Infinity Kisses - The Movie recomposes these images into a video, in which each dissolving frame is split between its full image and a hugely enlarged detail.
