Description
Contemporary art offers a unique perspective on selfhood, and Rachel Haidu explores this idea in her new book, Each One Another. By examining intergenerational pairings of artists, Haidu reveals how different aesthetic vehicles can help us understand ourselves as selves.
The author looks at how shape in painting, characters in film and video, and roles in dance allow us to grasp selfhood. She considers the works of Philip Guston, Amy Sillman, James Coleman, Steve McQueen, Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, and Yvonne Rainer, among others, to illustrate these points.
Through her analysis, Haidu shows how artworks can help us understand oneness, interiority, and our place in the world. She invites readers to examine their attachments to selfhood in a critical and forgiving way, making this book a thought-provoking exploration of contemporary art and its relationship to the human experience.
