Jenny Holzer
Jenny Holzer is an American conceptual artist whose work centers on language as a public and political medium. Using texts displayed on posters, plaques, LED signs, and architectural projections, she confronts themes of power, violence, desire, and collective responsibility. Her concise, often unsettling statements collapse the boundaries between art, activism, and everyday life, making language itself both the material and the message.
