[4] Her artistic work also includes video installations, computer animations, photography, sculpture and publications covering contemporary art.

In conversation with Gary Indiana for BOMB magazine, Export described her name-change: "I did not want to have the name of my father [Lehner] any longer, nor that of my former husband Hollinger.

We had big scandals, sometimes against the politique; it helped me to bring out my ideas.”[11] Like her male contemporaries, she subjected her body to pain and danger in actions designed to confront the growing complacency and conformism of postwar Austrian culture.

But her examination of the ways in which the power relations inherent in media representations inscribe women's bodies and consciousness distinguishes Export's project as unequivocally feminist.

[15] In an interview in Ocula Magazine, the artist stated that: "The fear of the vulva is present in mythology, where it is depicted devouring man.

[17][18][19] For this bodily public performance, Export wandered the streets of cities with a "small mock-up of a [movie] theater," first made of Styrofoam and remade later in aluminum, strapped to her bare chest.

"[20] Some of her other works including Invisible Adversaries, Syntagma, and "Korpersplitter", show the artist's body in connection to historical buildings not only physically, but also symbolically.

The body’s attachment to the historical progression of gendered spaces and stereotyped roles represent Export's feminist and political approach to art.

these values, transmitted via the cultural sign-process, will alter reality towards an accommodation of female needs.”[25] This statement directly related her own work to the progress of empowering women.

In this piece she digs at her cuticles with a knife for twelve minutes, representing the damage societal beauty standards inflict on the female body.

[26] Based on the precepts laid out in her 1972 manifesto, Export curated an exhibition of feminist art at the Galerie nächst St. Stephan in Vienna in 1975.

[28] The film follows Anna, a young woman photographer, as she becomes increasingly convinced that the people around her are being taken over by the Hyksos, a hostile alien force.

She further explains that a man called Schtabel who writes on a column on a magazine released false information about her piece, even though she contacted him on various occasions.
