Ulrike Ottinger. Film, Art and the Ethnographic Imagination
Book Launch and Discussion with Angela McRobbie, Erica Carter, Thomas Love, Julia Meyer-Brehm, Katharina Sykora, and Toby Ashraf
The first English language scholarly collection of articles on the leading Berlin based German artist and film-maker Ulrike Ottinger. The articles engage with the full range of the works, from the early Berlin feature films of the 1970s and .'80s to the ethnographic documentaries also including the art exhibitions, photography shows, installations, and artist books. The book brings together feminist film theorists with art historians and cultural theorists, each with a distinctive and detailed perspective on the queer fabulist genres of Ottinger now in her 80s.
