Kristine Stiles here considers some of the most notorious art of the second half of the 20th century by artists who use their bodies to address destruction and violence. From war and environmental pollution to racism and sexual assault, she analyses the consequences of trauma as seen in the works of artists such as Marina Abramovic, Pope.L and Chris Burden. Assembling rich intellectual explorations on everything from Paleolithic paintings to the Bible's patriarchal legacies to documentary images of nuclear explosions, she explores how art can provide a distinctive means of understanding trauma, and promote individual and collective healing.
