The image illustrates Margaret Fisher 's many collaborative works with composers, both within and outside of MA FISH CO, in this case, an experimental, dadaist opera that Fisher choreographed and designed for composer Charles Shere, inspired by a Marcel Duchamp's eponymous work. This work and similar collaborations with composers have been publicly performed in prominent venues in the U.S. and internationally, as well as discussed in major art and performance journals and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating Margaret Fisher 's many collaborative works with composers within and outside of MA FISH CO from the 1970s to the 2010s—including Charles Amirkhanian, Beth Anderson, Robert Ashley, Roger Reynolds, Don Buchla, Ivan Wyschnegradsky, among others—as well as her work responding to the historical work of other well-known artists. The image depicts an experimental, dadaist opera that Fisher choreographed and designed with MA FISH CO for composer Charles Shere, inspired by a Marcel Duchamp's eponymous work on glass. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this key body of her collaborative work, which attracted international attention and reviews. Fisher 's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
