Hans Booy
History Book

Hans Booy's "History Book" leaves take as a point of departure the truism that usually politics censor art. In this instance of spunky conceptualism, however, this truism is reversed, using scatological or body fluid themes. On these history schoolbook leaves, pornography, often the target of censorship, is used to comment on history and ideology.
