Sound artist Skafte Kuhn (*1969) presents an artist book, which looks like a precious special edition of an LP album. The texts are taken from song lyrics of 13 LPs by Anne Clark, the Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash or AC/DC. Skafte Kuhn transformed them into the poetic language of Schlegel, Tiek or even Shakespeare, juxtaposing them with 13 ink-pencil portraits showing the individual singers.
“Skafte Kuhn went through the recent history of music and selected lyrics dealing with darkness […] It is […] surprising how little historical and contemporary thought differ, how strongly emotionality and individualism appear as constants.” (Bettina Steinbrügge)
