Seven Twists I–VI 1979/2011 is a self-portrait of the artist comprising six framed black and white photographs on paper, laid out in a single row. The first photograph shows Maurer holding up a square sheet of blank paper that mostly covers her face, with only her right eye and hairline visible. Each subsequent photograph presents the artist holding up the previous photograph in the same manner but rotated by forty-five degrees anti-clockwise. In each photograph her actual face is angled alternately more or less towards the camera, with a little more of her face being revealed each time.
