IT WAS ME. DIARY
1900-1999 presents one hundred years of history out of any
chronological order presented in the first person. Effectively, Comani
has written a diary of the 20th century as though all the
events actually happened to her. From one day to the next, from one
report to the next, she is a passive witness, then an activist, then
victim, then perpetrator. In this way she is seemingly the initiator of
these twentieth-century historical events.
IT WAS ME. DIARY 1900-1999 exists in three versions: as big
digital print on vinyl cloth, as audio-installation and as book
