Text by Maria Muhle, Kristina Lee Podesva.
Komma, an artist’s book by Antonia Hirsch, is a modified facsimile of Dalton Trumbo’s 1938 anti-war novel Johnny Got His Gun. The original book describes a soldier who has lost all of his limbs, his face and consequently the ability to communicate. Addressing issues of censorship and instrumentalization, Hirsch’s version of Trumbo’s novel has been reedited to include commas—punctuation entirely missing from the original.
