The main portion of this book is a reissue of the texts Annette Wehrmann compiled in her self-made publication in the 1990’s. The publication was produced in a small edition for which Wehrmann chose the format of an 18 x 21 cm spiral bound notebook with a plain, red-orange cover. Her booklet contained a total of 38 single-sided photocopied pages of text whose introductory title-page bears the heading LUFTSCHLANGEN-TEXTE 1+.
The name LUFTSCHLANGEN-TEXTE refers to the performative context for which the texts were originally conceived. In the 1990’s and 2000’s, Annette Wehrmann participated in a large number of projects with her performances where she read passages typed out on serpentine streamers, inching along the colorful winding strips she’d placed throughout the room.
