Irène Schwartz's notebooks enable us to follow the entire creative process that, between 1973 and 1983, led the artist to three actions in the field of body art or, more specifically, eat art. Richly illustrated with previously unpublished photographs, the book makes a fresh contribution to the anthropological and political questioning of the place of the female body in the art world.
Irène Schwartz (born 1948 in Paris) was an art director in the press and author of several children's books, while working as a performance artist from 1973 to 1983.
