nyctaeus:Jenny Holzer, ‘Lustmord’, Photographs of handwriting in ink on skin, 1994In ‘Lustmord’ (Lusmord being the German word for sexual violence involving rape), Holzer creates tension through subject matter, which addresses sexual violence. Holzer was inspired by the violence of the war in Bosnia, formerly a republic of Yugoslavia. She presents three different points of view: the rapist, victim and observer. Inevitably, the viewer sympathizes with one view or another. It is a text that would be difficult to read without indifference. -- source link
