About This Item
Göttingen: Steidl Verlag, 2005. Text: German. Unp.; ill.; 17 x 24 cm; 110 g. " Die Regimentstochter is the latest in a series of projects made from material turned up in flea markets, in this case, a series of 36 antique opera programs from the 30s and 40s found in the flea markets of Berlin. Like the found photographs in Dean's 2001 FLOH, these souvenirs remain unexplained by text. They retain the silence of the lost object, and they share a riddle: each program gives a tantalizing glimpse of a title or a face through a small window cut into the embossed cover. Readers will recognize Beethoven, Rossini, or perhaps a singer. A swift search in an archive would easily confirm what has been removed, but it seems likely that the missing piece is a swastika. These performances all happened during the Third Reich. When and by whom the incision was made, and why these programs were both worth disfiguring and worth keeping, remains a mystery.". Signed By Artist. Limited and Numbered. Sewn. As New. Artists' Book.
