Jenny Holzer

Action causes more trouble than thought.
Alienation produces eccentrics or revolutionaries.
Time battering the surface of Earth?

Men don't protect you anymore.

Protect me from what I want.

Jenny Holzer has done her part to enlighten all corners of the 'civilized' world with her "truisms." She has crafted hundreds of these provoking nuggets ("the sum of your actions determines what you are", "the family is living on borrowed time", "symbols are more meaningful than things themselves", "talking is used to hide one's inability to act", etc.) over the past four decades. With this massive and powerful arsenal, Holzer has catapulted her thoughts onto billboards in Times Square, the walls of Paris, the shirtfronts of the western world, stirring up thought and challenging the chosen medium(s) of advertising.
