DAHLIA SCHWEITZER is a writer, curator, educator, and performer. Her books, articles, concerts, and installations--found across mass/mainstream, critical/academic, and emergent/underground channels--touch upon themes of media and identity; sexuality and femininity; decay and reinvention. Sometimes her intention is to critique and suggest, others to transform and advance, and yet others to arouse and entertain.
Schweitzer's other works include erotic fiction (Seduce Me, Queen of Hearts, Breathe With Me, I've Been a Naughty Girl); cultural criticism (Some Kind of Monster: Cindy Sherman's Office Killer); impassioned essays in publications including Hyperallergic and The Journal of Popular Culture; and an album of electronic dance music (Plastique). A former resident of Berlin, Tel Aviv, and New York City, Schweitzer currently lives in Los Angeles. Here, in the city of angels (and devils), she teaches critical thinking and creative writing while working toward her PhD at UCLA.

One of the twentieth century’s most significant artists, Cindy Sherman has quietly uprooted conventional understandings of portraiture and art, questioning everything from identity to feminism. Critics around the world have taken Sherman’s photographs and extensively examined what lies underneath. However, little critical ink has been spilled on Sherman’s only film, Office Killer, a piece that plays a significant role both in Sherman’s body of work and in American art in the late twentieth century. Dahlia Schweitzer breaks the silence with her trenchant analysis of Office Killer and explores the film on a variety of levels, combating head-on the art world’s reluctance to discuss the movie and arguing instead that it is only through a close reading of the film that we can begin to appreciate the messages underlying all of Sherman’s work.
The first book on this neglected piece of an esteemed artist’s oeuvre, Cindy Sherman’s “Office Killerâ€Â rescues the film from critical oblivion and situates it next to the artist’s other iconic works.
