„Behind Every Curtain“ provides
a kind of sketchbook companion
or dossier on the making of his latest
film, A „Game of Chess“. This
work draws on the importance of
chess for the early twentieth-century
avant-garde (Man Ray, Duchamp,
Picabia) and the game’s
curious overlap with dance, in
films and ballets by René Clair
and – of especial significance for
Dzama – Oskar Schlemmer,
whose 1922 Triadic Ballet included
puppet-like masked figures performing
on a checkered surface.

Since the 1990s the American artist
Nicole Eisenman (born 1965 in
France, lives and works in New
York) has garnered attention with
her figurative paintings that, playfully
and with great artistic freedom,
cross stylistic and compositional
elements from the history of
art from Renaissance painting to
modernism with comics, slapstick,
TV culture, pornography, and subcultural
image strategies. The book
is a new monograph dedicated to
her work, based on an exhibition
at the Kunsthalle Zürich in 2007.
