This work is based on photographs taken by Ute Klophaus of Joseph Beuys' performance of Iphigenia/Titus Andronicus on May 29, 1969 at the experimenta 3 in the Theater am Turm, Frankfurt am Main. The performance was originally based on Claus Peymann's and Wolfgang Wiens' text montage of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus and Goethe's Iphigenia in Tauris.
The work is part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
