Manon has pioneered body and performance art since the 1970s. In her ambivalent depiction of female identity; she deliberately affirms gender roles and their subversion, internationally recognized for radical performances and conceptual photographs addressing the construction of identities. Her work is concurrent with artists such as Cindy Sherman, Adrian Piper, or Hannah Wilke. Working in performance and staged photography around the subjects of eroticism and the finite nature of life, her work states opposed contents such as loneliness, desire, intertwining mutual dependence, and masquerade.
