SARINA BASTA, ALL I’M YOURS NOW, SCULPTURE CENTER, NEW YORK, 2009
Sarina Basta, All I’m Yours Now, Sculpture Center, New York, 2009Linda Weiss' privacy/policy-heidegger/arendt, 2007, is a DVD transcript of excerpts from love letters between philosophers Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger starting in 1925, covering the period when Arendt was Heidegger’s student in Germany, through her exile in France and the United States, until her death in 1975. The love letters between Arendt, a survivor of the Holocaust and a violent critic of totalitarianism, and Heidegger, once complicit with the Nazi regime, capture a crucial part of twentieth century history, its contradictions, its problematics, and its mea culpa. As Weiss puts it, "these letters are an example of where the personal and the political meet."
