[A German magazine] tried to bring the violence done to women in war right into 520,000 readers’ homes. American artist Jenny Holzer used blood donated by eight German and Yugoslav women volunteers in her design for the cover, a black page with a white card glued to it carrying the sanguinolent message: “Anywhere women are dying, I am wide awake.” (Time, Chronicles: Talk of the Streets, 11/29/1993, p. 12.)
