The most comprehensive book yet about the Egyptian German artist Susan Hefuna, Pars Pro Toto was developed in the course of a dialogue with the editor, Hans Ulrich Obrist. Hefuna has been working in the media of drawing, photography, installation, and video since the early 1990s. She uses these various techniques to intertwine levels of meaning and reflect many-layered codes, which she interprets in both concrete and abstract manners.

Susan Hefuna, born in 1962, has been widely exhibited at such venues as the Louvre, Paris; Townhouse Gallery, Cairo; the Third Line Gallery, Dubai; Sharjah Biennale; the New Museum, New York; Albion Gallery, New York; and many more.
