Model, Muse, Artist...


In The New York Times was an article about Manon, a swiss-born creative who took pictures of herself with a Polaroid camera and are now on display at the Swiss Institute. Not very kno9wn today, she was an "underground sensation in Europe in the 70's". A pioneer of feminist performance art, she was often compared to Cindy Sherman. 
From what I read about her I can totally relate to her. I am a fan.


"Manon" runs through July 11 at the Swiss Institute, 495 Broadway (Broome Street); 212 925 2035
