Because people can see themselves in different dimensions in performance; it challenges their idea of who they are and how to respond.
Tania Bruguera
Q: Why are you drawn to performance?
I was drawn to performance precisely because it was a language everybody could understand. Everybody understood what I was talking about.
Meret Oppenheim as told by Lisa Wenger

Lisa felt a strong connection and responsibility to preserve her aunt's extensive written work and artistic legacy, realizing the importance of her contributions as a woman in art.

Casa Costanza was significant as it was the family vacation home where Oppenheim spent much of her childhood and later renovated, putting her own artistic stamp on it.
Lorna Simpson
Q: What do you hope viewers feel about the open-ended ambiguity in your work?
I think the most interesting narratives, particularly within this form, is how do I get the viewer to think about something differently or by missing pieces?
