Description: Michaela Zimmer makes art with her body. To describe it as `Body Art` places it perhaps too firmly in the genre of live performance that emerged in the late 1950s in which artists used their bodies as materials. Zimmer performs, but she is her own audience, working alone in her studio, describing her work as `somehow a private dance performance`. It seems to have a closer affinity to personal research than public presentation.
