Vika Kirchenbauer: Works, Scripts, Essays 2012–2022
From Mousse Publishing:
Conceived as a monographic reader, Vika Kirchenbauer: Works, Scripts, Essays 2012–2022 compiles for the first time an extensive, decade-spanning collection of Kirchenbauer’s seminal and profoundly perceptive essays, the scripts of her widely celebrated moving image works in conjunction with selected video stills, as well as exhibition views. This volume offers substantial insights into the Berlin-based artist, filmmaker, writer and music producer’s research inquiries and aesthetic vocabulary. It also includes Kirchenbauer’s two latest texts, exploring the relation between violence and visibility within the Western paradigm as well as the complex entanglements of European religious music and colonialism—research that has also fueled her solo music project COOL FOR YOU since 2015. This compendium is extended through novel essays by Oakland- and Los Angeles-based archivist, curator, and artist Leeroy Kun Young Kang and by Warsaw-based feminist philosopher and activist Ewa Majewska.
The typefaces used for the book design are ABC Monument Grotesk Mono by Dinamo / Kasper-Florio and Mule by Samira Schneuwly.
