The photographer and performance artist Brigitte Maria Mayer met Heiner Müller in 1990 and married him in 1992. Until Heiner Müller's death, which will be commemorated on December 30, 2005, they lived together in Berlin with their daughter. The last years of Heiner Müller's life, which were externally defined by his roles as president of the East Berlin Academy of Arts and as director of the Berliner Ensemble, find a lesser-known counterbalance in his struggle against a terminal illness, his writing, and his photography. The private images, texts, and drawings created during this time in visual dialogue with his wife also form a poetic counterpart, a symbiography, to the autobiography "War Without Battle." "Death is an Error" is a very private book of love, a declaration of love.
