BONN —
The magazine of a prominent German newspaper wants to draw attention to violence against women. So it’s using women’s blood to print part of the cover of its next edition.
The blood, donated by eight women, will be used for the headline, “I Know Women Are Dying,” which is part of a design created by American artist Jenny Holzer.
“I wanted to do something as shocking as the issue itself,” she said Friday.
The magazine section will appear next Friday in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, a national newspaper based in Munich.
