Unica Zurn

[unicazurn-archive]

"Nowadays when the object of my longings and privations approaches, when he

is suddenly present, I tend to be embarrassed, wish he would go away, may the

Devil take him — but at any rate

back to the place where until that day

my longing had tried so gently to explore it.

And this is my inner contradiction — my disbelief."

Excerpt from "The Whiteness With The Red Spot", Unica Zürn. Trans: Malcom Green.

"A princess’ skull was taken by grave-digger and colonialist German General of the Schutztruppe Ralph Zurn. He was responsible for the revolts, massacres and extermination orders against Nama and Herero peoples; digging the human remains and belongings of Namibian people to sale-export them to ethnographic museums in London, Dahlem Berlin and Dresden which are partly now part of the private ‘pharmaceutical’ (funded by Bayer) collections at the Humboldt Forum. We see maps and evidence of how the crimes were committed through psychological night visions by his daughter Unica Zurn following his ghost whilst on duty. Her torment in writing and in dadaist-termed drawings are given as evidence in the tribunal to hold accountability of the crimes committed by Germany linking to her father R. Zurn, E. Fischer and Carl Peters."

Tragic story really #talent vs #mentalillness

In 1970, Unica Zurn, threw herself from the sixth floor window of their apartment in Paris. Her suicide was the culmination of thirteen years of mental crises which are described with disarming, honest lucidity in 'The Man Of Jasmine', subtitled Impressions from a Mental Illness. Zurn's mental collapse was initiated when she encountered in the real world her childhood fantasy figure "the man of jasmine": he was the writer Henri Michaux, and her meeting him plunged her into a world of hallucination in which visions of her desires, anxieties and events from her unresolved past simply overwhelmed her present life. Her return to "reality" was constantly interrupted by alternate visionary and depressive periods.

“Rainer Werner Fassbinder dedicated his 1978 film Despair “to Antonio Artaud, Vincent Van Gogh, and Unica Zurn,” and rightly so. Despair, though based on Nabokov’s novel, was in Fassbinder’s eyes about the recognition that, after a certain moment in life, the future will only offer more of what has already been, or the options of madness, misery, suicide. For many sensitive souls, the possibilities of self-reinvention are exhausted long before any sort of natural death…”
