Karina Chernenko: Gott&Gilz: F.O.T.Z.E.N., Gebunden

Klappentext

GOTT&GILZ present a radical project about language, visual representation, and the re-appropriation of female and queer self-determination. What starts as a provocation in the title becomes a stage for feminist visibility: artists and musicians from the rap and pop scenes use imagery, writing, and bodies to explode categorizations and recode the concept of the cunt. What sets the series of works apart is that the people in the pictures not only posed for the camera, they also wrote accompanying essays and statements. The "Female Outstanding Talents, Zeniths of Emerging Notoriety"-in short, FOTZEN ("cunts")-captured in the book harness the "New Portrait" as a scene of self-dramatization, resistance, and aesthetic exaltation. As this book demonstrates, they have the power over their own image, and no one else!
