She Dolls with Dollies / Sie puppt mit Puppen / Ona se punčka s punčkami

Karin Fisslthaler (Karin Fisslthaler, Anna Clementi, Thomas Stern)
2024, Austria, 2’46’’

Portraits appropriated from old films and magazines become anonymized: radiant tulips and spiky cacti whir behind cut-out mattes of peoples' heads. The imagery is accompanied by Kurt Schwitters' poem Sie Puppt mit Puppen from 1944.

Sposojeni portreti iz starih filmov in revij postanejo anonimni: za izrezanimi obrisi človeških glav migetajo žareči tulipani in bodičasti kaktusi. Podobe spremlja pesem Kurta Schwittersa Sie puppt mit Puppen iz leta 1944.
