Juliane Rebentisch reads Bacher’s work as a sustained practice of opacity that stages accumulation, self-exposure, humour, and citation to unsettle fixed identities and disrupt the clichés through which meaning is usually secured. Finally, Emily LaBarge reads Bacher through the logic of the pun, showing how her works hinge on double meanings and perceptual slippages that make uncertainty the condition of viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICA Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58508088476032,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0012\/4390\/6109\/files\/burningthedays.jpg?v=1784651424","url":"https:\/\/shop.ica.art\/products\/chaosmose-exhibition-catalogue-copy","provider":"ICA Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
