Lynn Book’s original, multimedia performance work Legacy, originally titled “Leg(s)eee!!” was presented at the Getz Theater of Columbia College, Chicago as a benefit for the Peace Museum. Concerned with the cultural construction of the feminine within a patriarchal system. Book was invested in exploring these themes and concepts in a multimodal way through text, image, sound, action and staging. She collaborated with sound designer Lou Mallozzi to co-compose “The Shadow of the World”, drawn from a passage from Jean Genet’s “The Thief’s Journal”. Mallozzi also performed, along with Werner Herterich and Jill Daly. Book was collaborating with experimental filmmaker, Sharon Couzin to create a 16mm film ‘portrait’ entitled, “Bouquet”, which premiered at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. A short film passage from that film was projected during the live performance.
