Infinity Kisses (1981 – 88)

Self shot photos on 35mm film

With 140 photos, this piece by Schneemann is a funny and disturbing take on a woman’s relationship with her pet cat.  Cats seem to have always held a strong emotional tie to Schneeman, she uses them throughout a lot of her work.  This piece not only expresses her love for the animal, but the over-exaggerated bond that people assume women have with their cats.

In 2008 she recreated the piece as Infinity Kisses II and made a film titled Infinity Kisses – The Movie.
