“Ophelia” is an interdisciplinary architectural media artwork that explores the links between the history of hysteria and the destruction of the biosphere. In her first monograph, artist Nadja Verena Marcin, who works in Germany and the U.S., presents the world tour of the work with which she has been traveling since 2017. Using her own identity and corporeality, Marcin explores and deconstructs social roles and deals with topics such as gender, history, morality, politics, environment, and power structures. In addition to this project, which is illuminated from different perspectives, the volume presents further performance-based works, videos and photographs of the artist. Contributions of renowned art critics such as Dr. Uwe Rüth, Dr. Kimberly Rhodes, Dr. Kathy Battista, Susan Silas and Liam Gillick look at Marcin’s complex work, which also deals with cultural roots, psychological conditioning and sexuality, as well as questioning social structures.
