Description

With her 1987 video-sculpture Les Larmes d'acier [Steel Tears], the Belgian artist Marie-Jo Lafontaine created a work for documenta VIII in Kassel that caused a huge stir and is still remembered today. This was the international breakthrough for an artist who had already received widespread recognition but who was now greeted as a pioneer in the new media of video art.
