Birgit Ju?rgenssen: Rupture of Sensuality
Edited with text by Gabriele Schor, Natascha Burger. Text by Christian Alandete, Raphael Gygax, Fumina Hamasaki, Stefanie Hessler, Marta Papini, Agnieszka Sosnowska.
From her shoe sculptures to ironic drawings, Jurgenssen's feminist-subersive oeuvre resists any singular style, instead favoring a practice of constant experimentation
Informed by Surrealism, Structuralism, Freudian psychoanalysis and even traditional Japanese handcrafts, Austrian artist Birgit Jurgenssen (1949–2003) was an unconventional, uncategorizable force of nature. This comprehensive monograph offers a fresh and extensive insight into her nearly 40-year career.
