About Protect me from what I want
As the 1980s reached its frantic climax, Jenny Holzer was the world’s most celebrated artist, with 3 solo shows in 1989: the Dia Art Foundation, the Guggenheim Museum, and The Venice Biennale, where she was the first woman to represent the United States and where she was awarded first prize for the most outstanding pavilion.
Directed by Charles Guarino, Edward Lachman, Christine Williams, Protect me from what I want leans on a strong ensemble — Jenny Holzer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1990.
