This book is concerned with, and a document of, Cantor’s work through the lens of \u003cem\u003ePinochet Porn\u003c\/em\u003e (2008–16) and its making—an epic experimental film embodying and radically extending her multifaceted artistic practice. Taking the form of an episodic narrative about five children growing up under the regime of General Augusto Pinochet in Chile, and shot between her dual hometowns of London and New York, history is observed through Cantor’s fictive speculations on private experience within a totalizing political order. \u003cem\u003eA history of the world as it has become known to me\u003c\/em\u003e brings together writings and archival materials of Cantor’s, including a reproduction in full of her drawing-based script \u003cem\u003eCircus Lives from Hell\u003c\/em\u003e (2004), alongside contributions by writers, artists, collaborators, and friends reflecting on Cantor’s practice, \u003cem\u003ePinochet Porn\u003c\/em\u003e, and a singularly transgressive vision: explicitly feminist, remorselessly emotional, dramatic in tone, and, as Cantor herself liked to put it, adult in subject matter.
