You Are Mine
The book is comprised of text-images from the series “You Are Mine” in English, German, and Italian. The sequence of text-images are taken from news reports about femicide. I reversed real-life violent acts that fill the pages of these articles (male becomes female, victim becomes perpetrator and vice versa), inviting reflection on the absurdity of femicide.
The works are printed on cotton with an aluminum background and simulate wrinkled newspaper clippings (taken from diverse media that I collected, filed, selected, and manipulated). The cover of the special edition of the artist book is printed on the same material as the text-images (cotton with aluminum backing), becoming like an object.
This artist book has been published on the occasion of the exhibitions "The Reading Room" at Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Berlin, 14.09 - 31.10.2024, and the Bangkok Art Biennale, 24.10.2024 – 25.02.2025. A selection of text-images began with the exhibition "You Are Mine" at the Galleria Nazionale in Rome, 17.10.2022 - 12.02.2023.
