Experimental newspaper - a dissection of Jenny Holzer


 



Notwithstanding the pithy verbiage in Holzer’s work, the snarky statement she composed is in contrast with her lurking behind the texts, such play with anonymity yields ambiguous pronouns, thus attenuating the hegemony of the authorship in order to unshackle spectators’ interpretations. Who is the protagonist of the narrative? What is our position in the statement? If it makes sense to you then what about the others?
    Nothing is fixated—every text/message/narrative can be perceived and uttered from one’s perspective and re-challenged and deconstructed and re-established by another individual, that is, the so-called meaning is defined by the coordination of the external stimuli as well as an individual’s internal perception and cognition—the process of unpackaging the raw data and building bridges to the preexisted schemas.
