Simone Haack’ s (b. Rotenburg/W� mme, 1978; lives in Berlin) most recent body of work delves into the theme of hair as a parameter of identity straddling the division between nature and culture. Her second publication with DCV is released on occasion of two exhibitions: Untangling the Strands at Berlin’ s Abguss-Sammlung Antiker Plastik, a collection of casts of ancient sculpture, which are seen in dialogue with her hair pictures; and Helix of Realism at Galerie Droste, Paris, which is part of the official program of events around the grand Surrealism exhibition held at the Centre Pompidou in celebration of the Surrealist Manifesto’ s centennial. The new book is the first to shed light on the aspect of the surreal in the artist’ s oeuvre and uncovers a major source of her visual inspiration: the dream diaries that Haack has kept since she was seventeen.
