Gallery: Truisms

Jenny Holzer from Ohio uses short statments in her work, known as truisms. She uses LED signs, projectors, slabs, even t-shirts.
"Often holzer's work presents both explicit content and minimalist aesthetics that make profound statements about the world of advertising and consumer society today." (from designboom)

My favourite Holzer's work is Truisms (1977-79). (That's just a sum of her truisms used on different projects, not a single artwork serires.) Something to think about. I think all her satements are true if you look from certain prespective. What led me to the conclusion that nothing is definite and sometimes both sides are wright coz it depends how you look at things. Whatever.
