sieh mich nicht an
gib mir keinen Namen
Each of his written and iconographic formulations has been made in full awareness of its media existence. Gerz himself expresses his thought in these terms: “Working with the media, on the media, working the media, it’s all one and the same. One can’t exist without the other. I don’t paint, sculpt, or draw, but I use photography, words, sound, my body, and also the moving image."
