All the Things I Lost in the Flood; Essays on Pictures, Language and Code By Laurie Anderson. One of the most revered, and inventive artists working today, Laurie Anderson is a musician, performance artist, composer, fiction writer, and filmmaker (Her Heart of a Dog, 2015, was lauded as an "experimental marvel" by the Los Angeles Times). Anderson moves seamlessly between the music world and the fine-art world while maintaining a stronghold in both. In this landmark volume, the artist brings together the most comprehensive writing about a collection of her artwork to date.
