Abstract
A reading of painter Charlotte Salomon’s Leben? Oder Theater? (Life? or Theatre?) (1941-2), created shortly before her death in Auschwitz, as a form of allothanatography - a writing of the deaths of others. The sequence’s visual and textual weave of invented memories for a traumatic core in maternal loss are probed and analysed. particular incidents are written and rewritten throughout his work.
