Works
Acconci began his career as a poet, editing 0 TO 9 with Bernadette Mayer in the late 1960s. In the late 1960s, Acconci transformed himself into a performance and video artist using his own body as a subject for photography, film, video, and performance. Most of his early work incorporated subversive social comment. His performance and video work was marked heavily by confrontation and Situationism. In the mid-1970s, Acconci expanded his métier into the world of audio/visual installations.

Fade
by: KainosAnother day, I rise
I rise again
Captured by the mystery of the wind
I cannot see it
But I feel it through my hair
Funny how I'm moved
Bu what seems to not be here
And so I fight
For what I believe
And so I shout
I have seen the unseen
And it amazes me
To picture eternity
Thoughts of you consume and sweep me away
Revealing the freedom that will not
Fade, fade, fade
Soldiers are falling
They're falling to my right
But I run, I run anyway
A thousand thoughts, they enter into my brain
But only one, yeah only one remains
And so I fight
For what I believe
And so I shout
I have seen the unseen
And it amazes me
To picture eternity
Thoughts of you consume and sweep me away
Revealing the freedom that will not
Fade, fade, fade
And it amazes me
To picture eternity
Thoughts of you consume and sweep me away
Revealing the freedom that will not
Fade, fade, fade
