With the installation "Faggot" on Morzinplatz, the Austrian artist Jakob Lena Knebl presents a temporary memorial to the homosexuals, lesbians, and
trans-gender persons persecuted and murdered under the Nazi regime. She
deliberately relies on discriminating terms such as “schwule Sau” (faggot) or
“Mannweib” (bulldagger) used disparagingly and deprecatorily in everyday
language and turns herself
and her body into an exhibition and projection surface.
