About This Item
Munich: Süddeutches Zeitung, 1993. First Edition. PAPERBACK. very good. Contains the first version of Lustmord by Jenny Holzer. Lustmord, which translates to sexual murder, sheds light on the systematic rape of women during the Bosnian war. It is comprised of three poems, each from a different perspective: the victim, the perpetrator, and the witness one such rape. In German and English, Holzer confuses the perspectives, reordering their sequence in such a way where we are not sure who is speaking, whose account of this unspeakable act is being relayed to us. While later versions of this piece feature the text on LED signs or, most famously, engraved in silver bands around human bones, here the words are written on human skin and photographed in close-up. The intense, full-bleed spreads here do not allow us to look away from the visceral nature of the work, horrifyingly and reflectively drawing our attention to the body. The cover, a folded card with text from one of the poems that reads, I am awake in a place where women die, is also designed by Holzer. 94 pages. Paper. Very good condition.
