Leila Hekmat. Female Remedy ISBN: 9783753303321 (PB - EN-GE) € bestellen verlanglijst Female Remedy is a comedy of manners which ponders illness as a condition of the body as well as a state of mind. In the tradition of Jewish stand-up comedy, Hekmat's new publication drips with self-deprecating humor. Visually, the magazine draws heavily on the traditions of 1970s feminist zines and introduces us to the cast of "Hospital Hekmat": a group of women who reject all things conventional and use their status as "sick people" as an opportunity to fully indulge in their eccentric idiosyncrasies, far removed from social conventions. Female Remedy is published on the occasion of Hekmat's solo exhibition of the same name at Haus am Waldsee, Berlin. It includes two artist texts by Vaginal Davis and Diamond Stingily.
