The main body of the volume approaches installation in terms of settings. Site-specific works are presented first, then media-related installations, museum pieces, and interior and exterior installations linked to architecture. The need to inhabit the artistic environment, to allow and even require the spectator to be a part of the work, has become as much a political statement as an artistic decision. Installation Art is part of a long tradition, traced here from the 19th century to the present.
