Summary
Cross-Examinations' is an exercise in writing, erasing and rewriting. Its four, increasingly layered iterations interrogate issues pertaining to torture, pain and being. They engage a series of texts and works, such as an exchange between Heidegger and Jünger, poetry by John Donne and Jean Daive, a novel by Nachoem Wijnberg, Cranach's 'The Martyrdom of Saint Catherine', Broodthaer's 'Fémur d'homme belge' and 'Fémur de la femme française'. A constant attempt to reassess its own claims, 'Cross-Examinations' is a palimpsest, printed and reprinted until the ink becomes page.
