Birgit Jürgenssen. I am.

Birgit Jürgenssen (1949-2003) was one of Austria's most significant women avant-garde artists, a creative feminist, and a vocal critic in cultural and social matters. Birgit Jürgenssen. I am. presents a comprehensive overview of Jürgenssen's impressive and diverse oeurve, which resolves around the deconstruction of stereotypical relationships and socially critical discourses. Sensitively and critically, she explores relations between humankind, animals, and plants, and following a seductive urge, blurs the conceptual borders between them.

In this volume, contributions by Natascha Burger, Maurizio Cattelan, Nicole Fritz, Lorenzo Giusti, Jessica Morgan, Gabriele Schlor, and others open up new perspectives on these hitherto underappreciated aspects of Birgit Jürgenssen's work.
