Survival: Go where people sleep and...
1989
Jenny Holzer's "Survival" series presents fragmented text-based instructions that encourage viewers to consider unconventional actions and social interventions. The incomplete phrase "Go where people sleep and..." exemplifies Holzer's characteristic use of language as a conceptual art medium, where the ambiguity of the statement invites interpretation and contemplation. Created during the 1980s, this work reflects Holzer's broader exploration of how text can challenge assumptions and provoke critical thinking about everyday life and human behavior.
