IL CORPO COME LINGUAGGIO (LA “BODY-ART” E STORIE SIMILI) — LEA VERGINE

Giampaolo Prearo Editore, 1974

A foundational text on body art and the radical redefinition of the body in contemporary art.
Written by Lea Vergine, this seminal 1974 publication traces the emergence of body art as a disruptive and deeply political practice. Through critical essays and extensive visual documentation, Vergine maps a landscape where the body becomes medium, language, and site of confrontation.
Spanning performances, actions, and conceptual gestures, the book brings together key figures of the movement, capturing a moment when art shifted from object to experience—often pushing toward extremes of endurance, identity, and exposure.
Both rigorous and provocative, Il corpo come linguaggio remains an essential reference for understanding the origins and legacy of body art, as well as a cult object for collectors of avant-garde art publications.
