Inhalt: |
The incredible, untold story of the British artist Penny Slinger and the traumatic events that led 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 Iiberation, and channeIled these desires into her ground-breaking coIIages, sculptures, and fiIms (including coIIaborations with Jane Arden and Peter Whitehead). So powerful was her vision that fifty years later her work is stilI influencing contemporary artists.
