The best thing for me to do is displace a moment of my everyday life to an artistic space.

— Lea Lublin, in an interview following her 1968 performance “Mon Fils” that took place at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Quote in Leslie Jamison's, Splinters: Another Kind of Love Story (Little Brown and Company, February 20, 2024)

interrogations sur la femme (1978) - lea lublin

the questions that lublin composed for this banner—including “is woman a sexual object?” and “is woman private property?”—reveal and interrogate social stereotypes about women. while the artist had previously deployed the banner format in installations that invited audience participation, this work was designed to be used as a ritual object for a performance. lublin gathered participants and together they lowered a version of the banner into the seine river, in paris, in an act of symbolic dissolution. As the artist had declared in 1969, “think and strike. think. walk freely. . . . reflect and act. art will become life.”
