Hal ne Cixous, the contemporary French philosopher with whom Roni Horn has collaborated on previous work, argues for a new language, one that acknowledges the life-giving force of the feminine. In tribute to Cixous, Horn, a major American photographer and sculptor, has created Index Cixous, which questions the nature of language in its most fundamental sense, in part by proposing a new language, one without words, but which can be read as any other. A signed and numbered limited edition of 100.

Title page with b/w photograph. B/w and color photographs by Ed Ruscha, from the collection of the Whitney Museum. "Ruscha's involvement with photography stretches over four decades. His early photographs set the tone for future works in all media. What characterized his photographs from the start was their nonchalance and lack of artfulness. He moved quickly and shot from the hip; many of the images are off-kilter and typically made from mid-distance, dead-on perspective." (Weinberg). B/w and color photographs from the exhibition Ed Ruscha Photographer, organized by the Whitney Museum. With catalog of works, selected bibliography and chronology, with index at rear.
