The volume, published by Sternberg Press, is edited by the curators and directors of the Edith-Russ-Haus, Edit Moln\u00e1r and Marcel Schwierin. The event begins at 7 p.m. in the Press and Information Center Kassel.    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the center of the bilingual book <strong><em>Live and Die as Eva Braun and other intimate stories<\/em><\/strong> are three provocative texts between reality and fiction, historical and political criticism, humor and eroticism: <em>Lebe und Stirb als Eva Braun<\/em> (1995-97) leads the viewer or reader through a scenario of virtual reality in the role of Hitler&#8217;s lover. Today, the work is considered groundbreaking in terms of the representation of trauma, National Socialism and the Holocaust. In the film &#8220;The Confessions of Roee Rosen&#8221; (2008), three illegal immigrant workers act as representatives for the character &#8220;Roee Rosen&#8221;. Their monologues are designed as confusing subversions in the tradition of literary confessions. The third text, the screenplay for Rosen&#8217;s work <em>Hilarious <\/em>(2010), presents itself as a dysfunctional comedy set in the twin towers of the collapsing World Trade Center.    <\/p>\n<p>The texts are supplemented by short political-aesthetic essays by Rosen to theoretically underpin his method. The volume concludes with a conversation between Roee Rosen and the historian Moshe Zuckermann, an astute critic of the political instrumentalization of the Holocaust.   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rosen&#8217;s latest film <em>The Dust Channel<\/em> (2016) can also be seen at Palais Bellevue and his work <em>The Blind Merchant<\/em> (1989-91) at Grimmwelt Kassel as part of the documenta. Schwierin and Rosen have also already presented the publication at the documenta in Athens. <\/p>\n<p>The Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art showed the solo exhibition <em>Roee Rosen: Live and Die as<\/em> <em>Eva Braun and Other Intimate Stories <\/em>from January to April 2016.  &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"event-format":[125],"class_list":["post-7400","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","event-format-book-presentation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/7400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-format?post=7400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
