Looking at her books upside down, she exercised both her mind and her body 1978

Marcia Resnick's 1978 black and white photograph, "Looking at her books upside down, she exercised both her mind and her body," is a powerful example of her work that explores the relationship between the body, the mind, and the environment. In this piece, a woman stands on her hands, with her legs in the air, suggesting a state of both physical and mental exertion. The positioning of the books behind her and the image's muted tones add to the feeling of introspection and challenge the traditional ideas of how we view the world and our place within it.
