Tent. Portrait of An Eye, Zürich, Kunsthalle Zürich, 00-00-2015 ; In Memoriam Of Identity, Nottingham, Nottingham Contemporary, 00-00-2015. - Monografie toont stills van de gelijknamige installatie van het Duits-Zwitserse kunstenaarsduo Pauline Boudry en Renate Lorenz. - This publication documents the major film installation I Want (2015) by collaborative artists Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz, which was presented at their 2015 solo exhibitions at Kunsthalle Zürich and Nottingham Contemporary. The double-projection film installation is based on a script that borrows texts from American punk-poet Kathy Acker (1947-1997), as well as chats and materials by convicted whistle-blower Chelsea Manning that speak of her reasons for revealing nearly one million secret military and diplomatic documents through WikiLeaks, at the same time exposing her transgender identity to her superiors. Through poetic gestures of appropriation and recombination, Boudry and Lorenz examine issues around gender, sexuality, the performance of identity, and the nature of collaboration
