"In recent years, Holzer's texts have also become increasingly personal, evoking a tone and imagery that suggest a thin edge between the objective and what verges on the hallucinatory. She has said that this development is in part natural and in part calculated. "At a certain point, what you read in the paper or hear on the television news seems equally real and unreal. But I'm not interested in an interior monologue. The language is a direct response to what is going on in the world."" extract from the text by Michael Auping
