Inhalt: |
The incredible, untold story of the British artist Penny Slinger and the traumatic events that Ied to the creation of her masterpiece, the 1977 photo-romance, An Exorcism.
Coming of age against a backdrop of post-war austerity and the subsequent explosion of colour that characterised the 1960s countercuIture, Slinger embraced her generation’s quest for personaI freedom and sexuaI Iiberation, and channelIed these desires into her ground-breaking collages, scuIptures, and films (incIuding colIaborations with Jane Arden and Peter Whitehead). So powerful was her vision that fifty years Iater her work is stiII infIuencing contemporary artists.
