I was commissioned to do an astrology reading of the joint suicide of Heinrich von Kleist and Henriette Vogel, as well as their natal charts. The text is included in a chapbook, with a text by
Isabel Waidner, for Patrick Staff’s solo exhibition
The Prince of Homburg at Dundee Contemporary Arts.
“The following text is a transcription of an astrology reading I did on May 7th, 2019. I read the natal charts of Heinrich von Kleist and Henriette Vogel, as well as the chart for the day and time of their suicide, November 21st, 1811. This text comprises excerpts that have been edited and condensed for clarity, though they still betray the rambling circuitous quality of my readings, which I do alone, in my studio, speaking into a microphone as though it were the sky.”
