About The Work
This edition's title points to Ulrike Mueller's interest in the literary contribution of Ingeborg Bachmann. Franza is a fragment from a cycle of novels called Todesarten or "Ways of Dying" which was left unfinished at the author's early death in 1973. In this piece of writing, Bachmann explores a cluster of oppressive forces in a woman's life, psychological unraveling, and related escape to the desert in Egypt. Featured in Mueller's exhibition for the 2010 Cairo Biennale, the theme "Franza" calls to mind the prophetic and redemptive power of a narrative which emerges as abstraction.
