Book excerpt: "Turn to page 34. A women is unzipping herself. The woman is the artist, Vera Lehndorff, who in the 1960s, made her name internationally as the celebrated fashion model Veruschka. In 1970 she met the artist and photographer Holger Trulzsch and together they began to use her body as a canvas on which to create a new and startling art form. In their work, Vera Lehndorff's body is denied its reality. It mimics another - a glamorous film star, a gun-toting ganster - chameleon-like it disappears into its surroundings, transformed into dead or decaying matter, sculpture, stones, trees. This disturbing yet utterly enthralling work is reproduced here for the first time in full colour."--BOOK JACKET.
