WOMAN WITHOUT MANDOLIN

Ansiktet til en kvinner ser ut til å fluktuere i rommet. Hun er fortapt i tanker, og det er nesten umulig å høre henne puste. Plutselig våkner hun. Hun ser på oss, megetsigende. I mellomtiden omskaper hun seg selv, hun rakner og gjenoppretter seg selv, del for del.

The face of a woman seems to be fluctuating in space. She is absorbed and it is almost possible to hear her breathing. Suddenly, she seems to wake up. She gazes at us profoundly. Meanwhile she is transforming herself, unravelling and recovering herself piece by piece.

ANY VIRGIN LEFT ALIVE?
(Y’A-T-IL UNE VIERGE ENCORE VIVANTE?)

Ifølge en engelsk legende døde ikke Jeanne d’Arc på bålet. Øynene hennes ble brent, og jomfrudommen tatt av en britisk hingst. Hun ble så dømt til å rave rundt på slagmarkene, som en åtseleter, på utkikk etter liv, på leting etter jomfruer fremdeles i live.

According to an English legend, Joan of Arc did not die at the stake. Her eyes were burned, and she was deflowered by a British stalion. She was then bound to ramble on battlefields, as a scavenger, on the lookout for life, in search of virgins still alive.

MIRROR

Å berøre og å bli berørt, å avsløre og skjule. Blyantstreker som utforsker hud, en indre verden som blir gjort synlig på kroppens ytre lag. Bevegelser og gester blir manifestasjoner av forholdet mellom kroppen og mine tegninger.

To touch and be touched, to reveal and conceal. Pencil lines exploring skin, an inner world made visible on the body’s outer layer. Movements and gestures become manifestations of the relationship between the body and my drawings.

Script: Anna Lytton | Cast: Susanne Grau

Production: Academy of Media Arts Cologne
