The artwork depicts what its name, "Arch of hysteria", represents; the state of hysteria. It doesn't have anything to do with Jeffrey Dahmer.

Does it matter? It is still a depiction of a man, even though 'hysteria' was mostly associated with women, in writhing pain. Not just a man, but a decapitated man, I don't see that it matters. The artist has something wrong with her. '"This is a feminist statement. It is a document which proves the prejudice of Charcot." (Jean-Martin Charcot [1825-1893], considered the father of modern neurology, was also the teacher of Sigmund Freud.) "For Charcot," Bourgeois said, "the arched body... the hysterical woman... was a subject of entertainment... she was made to be ridiculous and laughable. And hysterical people were always thought to be women. But that is a superstition! This document shows that men were also hysterical. I am trying to prove a point here. Charcot made fun of women... like my father made fun of me." (Quote cited in Wye, Deborah and Carol Smith. “The Prints of Louise Bourgeois.” New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 1994, p. 244.)"

Well it does when someone makes a thread with that information because other people will then take that information to be truth when it's not. I've said it many, many times in my past posts; accuracy is important.

that is true.

this. it's actually a depiction of someone having a seizure....

Thought it was based off photos Dahmer took of one of his victims.

Nope. Look into the artist and you'll see.

It is not. The artist did a series of Arches of Hysteria and the her sketches for her first one dates to 1989 before Dahmer was arrested.

the Arch of Hysteria that Tony Podesta owns has nothing to do with Jeffrey Dahmer. She conceived of her first Arch of Hysteria in 1989 two years before Dahmer was arrested. That pose was inspired by a French neurologist who studied hysteria. here's her first sketch of the first Arch. https://www.moma.org/collection_lb/browse_results.php?object_id=70922

This image is from 1824 and depicts, Opisthotonus , a painful spasming of the muscles that victims of tetanus get https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CdWVo4fWAAEMM_4.jpg

Charcot the neurologist who Bourgeois has cited has her inspiration (and who was a teacher of Freud) talked about the arc de cercle that hysterical patients and epileptics sometimes suffered. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Krzysztof_Owczarek/publication/221926258/figure/fig6/AS:305190860279813@1449774579686/Fig-6-The-circular-arc-arc-de-cercle-Paul-Richer-Etudes-cliniques-sur.png

Or she had knowledge of the crime scene from somewhere.

Are_we_sure

How in 1989 does she get knowledge of a crime scene for murder nobody know about until years later?

Dahmer didn't go on trial until 1992. The earliest anyone can point to that photo being public is like 1995 in a forensic textbook on murder.

You tell me...

NSFWish, the hanging statue depicting one of Dahmers male victims

This documentary was alright. The reenactment scenes go on a little too long

The detective who interviewed Dahmer says after building rapport Dahmer mentions he messed up because he drank too much which got him caught. Experimented drilling into the male victims head to create zombie sex slaves, was into cannibalism( Podesta photo ), believes in a higher power than himself. It's admiration for someone and learning from that persons mistakes of being too sloppy.

Dahmer right before telling the detective how many victims he has quips that the detective was going to be famous for busting him. Knowing that if he ever was exposed that his name in history will encourage those that come after him.

http://documentaryvine.com/video/jeffrey-dahmer-confessions-of-a-serial-killer/ Talks that the cannibalism was because when he consumed their bodies he consumed apart of their soul and sexual satisfaction.

Jeffrey Dahmer had whitehouse connections. He got a special tour of the whitehouse when he was a kid. Makes you think.
