Annotation:

"A lot of the early works from 1969 were almost like ‘instructions’, schematics, to figure out why I was moving in space [...]. The 1969 pieces were mainly about taking up a situation that already existed and finding a way to chain myself in that situation."

Vito Acconci in conversation with Martin Kunz, in: Exhibition catalogue. Vito Acconci. Kunstmuseum Luzern. Luzern 1978.
