Description
"This is part of the installation of the same name, which was shown at documenta 6 in Kassel in 1978.
It shows the documentation of an interview with the Cologne researcher Oelhen, about the use of classic images of Hercules Farnese used in the installation, interspersed with quotes from the feature film King Kong and the White Woman. The documentation was created to condense the feminist-critical aspect that the artist intended in the work with contemporary quotes."
