The proudly unoriginal, scavenging artist Christoph Schlingensief dabbled anarchically and democratically in everything, from movies and theatre to TV shows and installations. Pictured: Udo Kier/ Hitler painting masterpieces with his butt in 100 Jahre Adolf Hitler. www.routledge.com/Christoph-Sc...
Udo Kier as Hitler painting with his butt in Christoph Schlingensief's 1989 movie "100 Jahre Adolf Hitler - Die letzte Stunde im Führerbunker." The black and white image shows a truncated view of a person's exposed hips approaching a canvas stuck to the wall.

We translated André Lepecki's Exhausting Dance into Romanian.
Book cover for the Romanian translation of André Lepecki’s Exhausting Dance. The cover image is taken from the performance "8 Days a Week," choreographed by Eduard Gabia. It depicts two figures in jeans and white tops standing inside a black box. From the floor rises an amorphous, shiny black blob.
