Publisher's Synopsis
Pars Pro Toto III is the result of a close dialog between artist Susan Hefuna and curator Hans Ulrich Obrist. The focus in this book is on Hefuna's complex work groups on site-specific and architectural installations, video works and choreographies. Hefuna uses urban spaces and cities like Cairo, London, Istanbul, Sharjah, Sydney, New York and Vienna as her laboratory. The artist interacts with dancers, communities, urban and human structures in both personal and political ways. Features a foreword by Hans Ulrich Obrist and an interview with Nawal El Saadawi.
