The work of German artist Christoph Schlingensief spanned a diverse range of fields, including film, theatre, activism, television and opera. In over two decades, Schlingensief produced a large body of politically engaged work that challenged audiences to think critically and creatively about a broad range of socio-political issues and debates. This book – the first comprehensive study in English of Schlingensief’s intriguing body of work – outlines his background and provides descriptive analyses of key productions in each of the mediums he employed prior to his untimely death in August 2010. Listen to the interview with Anna Theresa Scheer who is one of the editor of the new book: Christoph Schlingensief: Art without Borders, eds. Forrest, T.L. & Scheer, A.T. (Intellect Books: Bristol, UK/Chicago, USA, 2010).
