I absolutely loved Oliver Lutz's piece, The Lynching of Leo Frank. The viewer is presented with a black canvas printed with specialist inks, facing the canvas is a camera and monitor that exposes the true contents of the canvas and allows the viewer to interact with the artwork.

In order to execute her project The Hotel (1981), she was hired as a chambermaid at a hotel in Venice where she was able to explore the writings and objects of the hotel guests. Insight into her process and its resulting aesthetic can be gained through her account of this project: "I spent one year to find the hotel, I spent three months going through the text and writing it, I spent three months going through the photographs, and I spent one day deciding it would be this size and this frame...it's the last thought in the process." wikipedia
