From Detroit to Cologne, from an artist-run space to a major international museum, Da Corte's work parallels Eminem's career through his thirties, reappearing, evolving alongside America, explaining more of himself each time. Eminem's place in culture and his role in Da Corte's practice, as well as the larger story of American identity, is explored through recent and commissioned essays by Hilton Als, Charlie Fox, William Pym, Martine Syms and Moritz Wesseler, as well as manipulated found texts and an extensive Q\u0026amp;A with Danish filmmaker J rgen Leth, whose 1982 work \u003ci\u003eAndy Warhol Eating a Hamburger\u003c\/i\u003e strongly informs the discussion. \u003ci\u003eTrue Life\u003c\/i\u003e is both an uncompromising reference book and a work of fantasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Da Corte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walther Konig Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.8lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 7.70w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783960988663","brand":"Walther Konig Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43424103891081,"sku":"9783960988663","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_00cf8782-31fd-43bf-9e33-9d215a1ee71c.jpg?v=1741075039","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/alex-da-corte-true-life-9783960988663","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
