Palíndromo

Abstract

This paper analyses the work Lustmord (1993), by the American visual artist Jenny Holzer, created in response to the atrocious events of sexual violence committed by Serbian soldiers agaist Muslim Women in war-torn Bosnia, from 1992 to 1995. Its objective is to think how Holzers' work managed to assert itself in a culture already saturated with images of violence.
