Jurack, B., 2025.

The female surveyor (second draft)

The artist Brigitte Jurack, a native of Düsseldorf, has been living and
working in Great Britain for more than thirty years. After spending several
weeks in German-speaking countries in summer 2022, she published the
bilingual Die Vermesserin (the female surveyor). In September 2024 whilst on
an international artists' residency in Pedvale, Latvia, she wrote the second
draft of Die Vermesserin in her native language, German.
The second draft is published in two separate volumes, German and English
and this English translation seeks to mimic the clipped 'dry' prose of the
German original.
The female surveyor counts, notes and connects observations at a very
local level and within the context of current European and global wars,
narrowmindedness and climate change.
