rauchen ist todlich is an artist book exploring my embodied relationship to cigarettes and notions of self care and coping during times of crisis. Tracking the ways in which the gesture of rolling cigarettes has flirted in and out of my life, the text meditates on the current resurgence of this habit during the pandemic, the somatic knowledge held within a gesture, and the loss of my Grandmother to lung cancer as a child.
Lexie Owen (b 1982, Canada) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores notions of the collective, structures of support and networks of care. Using artistic, curatorial and textual methods her projects seek to create space for intimacies in unexpected ways, investigate the material conditions that surround collective acts, and find unconventional expressions of agency within the gestures and social forms that make up everyday life.
