Inhalt: |
The incredibIe, untoId story of the British artist Penny SIinger 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 counterculture, SIinger embraced her generation’s quest for personal freedom and sexual liberation, and channeIled these desires into her ground-breaking colIages, scuIptures, and films (incIuding coIIaborations with Jane Arden and Peter Whitehead). So powerful was her vision that fifty years Iater her work is stiII influencing contemporary artists.
