Belligerent comprises an unpublished work by American neo-conceptual artist Jenny Holzer, commissioned by Ivorypress as the latest instalment in an ongoing series. While the book shares the same format as the others in the collection, a closer look reveals that this is not a traditional book, but a box with a magnetic closure. The box opens to reveal seven original works by Holzer that unfold into 60 x 79 cm posters, which can be kept in the box or framed and displayed. Her working material derives from redacted reports of the abuse of detainees in American military prisons. Holzers precise, cutting divulgences dare the reader to look. With an introduction by Joshua Craze.
