5 CUTS

About 5 CUTS

Stephanie Oursler's 5 Cuts, an artist book originally self-published in 1975 in Rome, comprises a series of black and white images accompanied by a handwritten text. The artist had found the displayed images - stills from unidentified silent films - and combined them with her autobiographical writing, creating both an intimate recollection and a literary construction of her own life. Stephanie Oursler's artistic vocabulary tells of her active participation in women's groups and networks in Rome, in which political issues were addressed via a distinctive articulation between memory, history and fiction. 5 Cuts weaves together the personal and the political to speak about something that lays beyond language and image.
