Jenny Holzer est une artiste conceptuelle américaine reconnue pour ses installations publiques à grande échelle qui utilisent des mots et des idées dans l'espace public. Son travail emploie souvent des médias visibles tels que des enseignes LED et des projections, attirant l'attention sur des questions sociétales. L'art de Holzer explore des thèmes tels que la violence, l'oppression, la sexualité, le féminisme, le pouvoir, la guerre et la mort. Un objectif central de sa pratique est d'éclairer des vérités cachées et de rendre visibles des pensées longtemps restées secrètes.
