Ulrike Ottinger
Theatrum Mundi
Ulrike Ottinger, “the queen of Berlin’s underground”, is one of the pioneer figures of experimental cinema of post-war Germany in the 1970 and 80s. Ottinger’s artistic output extends far beyond film, encompassing theatre and opera productions, exhibitions, photography, painting, and artist book publications. As a filmmaker and camerawoman, she has crafted a complex oeuvre of both surrealist fictional films and ethnographic documentaries (of up to twelve hours), resonating greatly among queer-lesbian and postcolonial discourses of today.
