Live and Die as Eva Braun and Other Intimate Stories<\/em> is a bilingual edition of short writings by Roee Rosen. At the heart of this collection are three provocative texts extracted from important artworks by Rosen, offered here as genre-defying literature at the intersection between reality and fiction, speculative narrative and historical-political critique, humor and eroticism.<\/p>\nLive and Die as Eva Braun<\/em> (1995\u201397) leads the viewer through a virtual-reality scenario in the role of Hitler\u2019s lover. The project stirred a public and political controversy when first shown in Israel. It was later recognized by many as a watershed work concerning the representation of trauma, Nazism, and the Holocaust. When the work was presented in New York, Linda Nochlin wrote, \u201cThe experience of Live and Die<\/em>, both textual and visual, is unforgettable, like nothing else.\u201d The film The Confessions of Roee Rosen <\/em>(2008) offers yet another uncomfortable doubling of identity, in which three illegal female migrant workers serve as surrogates for the character \u201cRoee Rosen.\u201d As a text, these highly condensed monologues reveal themselves to be disorienting subversions of the tradition of literary confession. Finally, the script of Hilarious<\/em> (2010) offers a torturously bad attempt at dysfunctional comedy, set in the Twin Towers as they collapse.<\/p>\nThese three texts are complemented by three of Rosen\u2019s short political-aesthetic essays, chosen to reflect the theoretical underpinnings of his approach. The volume concludes with a conversation between the artist and the historian Moshe Zuckermann, an insightful critic of the political instrumentalization of the Holocaust. Live and Die as Eva Braun and Other Intimate Stories<\/em> is published on the occasion of Rosen\u2019s first survey exhibition in Germany, at the Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art, Oldenburg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2319,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-7277","publication","type-publication","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/7277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/edi-typ-24154.stage.sites.vh3-schrittweiter.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
