The daughter of US diplomats, she weaves memories of growing up overseas among narratives centered on art objects created while working under oppressive regimes. Ultimately Exhibitions is a collection concerned with how art both evinces and elicits emotion and memory and how, through the making and viewing of art, we are—for better or for worse—changed.Zum Buch

While attending her company’s Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza, the building is seized by a group of terrorists led by Hans Gruber. McClane becomes the only hope for the hostages as he uses his wit and resourcefulness to fight back against the heavily armed group. The film explores themes of heroism, isolation, and resilience, with a mix of suspense, action, and moments of dark humor, making it a hallmark of the action genre. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “The fictional Nakatomi Plaza, used as the setting for the film, actually serves as the headquarters for 20th Century Fox. The company charged itself rent for using the still-under-construction building.” “Bruce Willis's costume department had 17 undershirts on hand, each in varying stages of wear and tear, to match the degradation of his shirt during the film.” “Bruce Willis was paid an unprecedented $5 million for the role, a figure that was approved by Fox President Rupert Murdoch.” “In 2007, Bruce Willis donated the iconic undershirt worn by John McClane to the Smithsonian Museum.” “The scene where Bruce Willis meets Alan Rickman was not rehearsed to increase the sense of spontaneity between the two actors.”Zum Buch
