History is not just a sequence of events. It is also about how much governments, strategic plans and intelligence agencies wish to reveal. Jenny Holzer, in the exhibition “Truth Before Power”, reconstructs an undeclared history of relations between the United States and the Middle East dating back to World War II. She examines official documents from the American government and secret services (some of ‘confidential’ origin) and by means of her usual media - text and luminous LEDs. Inanimate pieces of paper in Holzer’s hands go together to make up a texture of luminous script. Another history but certainly one less easy to understand. L.B.
