In Menopausal Gym, O'Reilly undertakes a long durational performance that challenges the boundaries of the female body. Through intense exercises, moments of fatigue and strength, the artist embodies the turbulent and transformative experience of menopause. The performance reflects sweat, endurance, and vulnerability as O'Reilly navigates the shifting landscape of the female body's hormonal changes.
Kira O'Reilly's practice encompasses performance, sculpture, writing, and experimental media, rooted in radical feminist performance art. Her works have been widely exhibited since 1998, merging art with science and technology. Notable projects include inthewrongplaceness (2005) and Stair Falling (2009), where she explored human-animal relations and slow movement respectively.
