Lygia Clark

"One of her most recognized interactive art pieces is Baba Antropofágica. This piece was inspired by a dream that Lygia Clark had about an anonymous substance that streamed out from her mouth. This experience was not a pleasurable one for Clark. She viewed it as the vomiting of a lived experience that, in turn, was swallowed by others. In a sense, Clark seemed to view this atrocity as a way of displaying its freedom."
