about

Unica Zürn (Germany, 1916 –1970).

Unica Zürn is known as much for her difficult life as for her work, but this track is all about the work itself. In childhood, Zürn’s beloved father was absent, her mother was verbally abusive, and her brother was sexually abusive. As an adult, she experienced bouts of mental illness, loss of custody of her children, and romantic relationships that seem, from the outside, to have been unhealthy, and she eventually committed suicide. For all that, what matters is this: she created distinctive visual art and poetry, sometimes combining the two, with an immediately recognizable style of drawing, marked by fantastical, imaginary plants and creatures, and showed a facility with anagram poems, a particularly difficult form in which to work. In both these areas, her work is rooted in a powerful imagination and realized with a fanatical focus on detail.

This composition is named after her book Hexentexte (1954, “The Witches’ Texts”), which features paired poems and images.
