  • Lynn Hershman Leeson is a pioneer of media art. From an early stage, she combined traditional media with the latest digital technologies and experimented with interactive formats. Her work has always centered on the entanglements of human beings with social and political power structures. Long before digital selfdisclosure became commonplace on social media, Hershman Leeson created The Electronic Diaries, a radically personal work. Beginning in 1984, she recorded herself on camera as part of this ongoing performative art project, gradually compiling a video diary over the years. In it, she speaks candidly about eating disorders, sexual violence, psychological crises, and the societal pressures imposed on women’s bodies. By interweaving her unflinching accounts with television footage and political events, Hershman Leeson increasingly blurs the boundaries between the private and the public, between art and life.
