Sibylle Schönemann’s film about abortion lets young and older women speak; women who were forced to abort by their partners or who chose to carry the baby to term despite predicted difficulties. Assembled as a kind of collage, a round table alternates with stylised passages, while the camera also shows moments in a clinic right before and after the procedure. The attitude vacillates between drama and affirmation of life. Liberal perspectives, with one exception, are left out. Schönemann, together with Tamara Trampe, almost managed to take up the complex issue in a feature film.

Poster for TriKE

2022 · ★ 0.0 (0)

TriKe is a visual representation of the chaos we shape in order to thrive within the fullness of ourselves. Our film uses absurdity to scandalize our explicit vulnerability in a public space. TriKe is a celebration of our childlike sensibility to find the erotic in the mundane, and the power within our complexities.

Witness the big Bollywood marriages of three couples as they attempt to balance millennia-old traditions and modern American sensibilities.

Poster for Demolition of a Wall (Album 2)

2022 · ★ 10.0 (1)

Demolition of a Wall (Album 2) was shot at an explosives range in Socorro, New Mexico. Socorro - meaning 'aid' or 'help' - was given its name in the 16th century by Spanish colonizers as a token of gratitude: as the Spaniards emerged from a very barren stretch of desert, native Piro Indians offered them food and water. More recently, the area has been physically imprinted with the history of atomic bomb testing and hypersonic weapons research.

Poster for Friends of Minamata Victims - Video Diary

1972 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Created for the first Japanese exhibition dedicated to video art, Video Communication: Do-It-Yourself-Kit, this work documents protests outside the Chisso Corporation headquarters in central Tokyo. Hazardous byproducts from the company’s chemical plants had caused severe mercury poisoning—and, consequently, a neurological disease—in Minamata’s livestock and inhabitants. Nakaya filmed the sit-in with a handheld video camera and installed a battery-powered television monitor on-site, allowing the demonstrators to watch themselves by playing back the recordings of their actions.
