SHE IS THE OTHER GAZE is a collaboration with female visual artists of an older generation who were part of the Viennese art scene in the 1970s and were engaged in the women’s movement. In dialogue with the filmmaker Renate Bertlmann, Linda Christanell, Lore Heuermann, Karin Mack and Margot Pilz share their early works and artistic practice. They remember how their self-determination evolved between artistic ambitions, economic constraints, adaptation and resistance to the prevailing patriarchal social structures. In their role as feminist pioneers, the protagonists are a major influence on the contemporary art scene and the self-understanding of younger artists today. With their voices and narratives, they become collaborators passing on feminist thinking and artistic experiences.
Christiana Perschon is a filmmaker based in Vienna, completed her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts. She curated a Barbara Hammer Retrospective 2018 at The Austrian Filmmuseum and won Best Camera Award at Diagonale 2019 for SHE IS THE OTHER GAZE. Her films are created collaboratively with her protagonists while her camera as an apparatus placed in between acts as the receiver of the gaze in a setting where interaction defines the imagery. Her films have been shown at international film festivals such as Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, New Horizons, Visions du Réel, Viennale.
The presentation is supported by the Federal Chancellery Republic of Austria.
