Barbara Hammer featured in EXIT INTERVIEW in the New Yorker

photo: Elinor Carucci for The New Yorker

Hammer is a pioneering visual artist known primarily for her films, most of which deal with lesbians, personal histories, and the body.

Hammer is dying. At seventy-nine, she has lived with cancer for thirteen years and has exhausted all available treatment options. She has spoken publicly, repeatedly, about her impending death, both as an artist reflecting on her creative life and as an activist for allowing terminally ill patients to take charge of the dying process.
