She is a painter, performance artist, filmmaker and above all an amazing woman and I love her!
Mara Mattuschka is an important figure in experimental film in Europe. The most impressive point of her numerous films is the way she relates to her body.
Most of these films are shot in gritty 16mm black and white, with lightning fast editing and often a combination of animation and live-action, making the films instantly recognizable.
Contradiction seems to be the keyword in the world of Mara Mattuschka, because these films can jump from one mood to another in the blink of an eye. As a result they are anarchistic and provocative, but at the same time vulnerable and human; humorous and dramatic; harsh and poetic.
The variety of her films are quite astonishing, although they’re clearly the product of one mind.It’s typical of the beautifully strange films of Mara Mattuschka: they are lovely little films which comment quite seriously on human mores and values, but are at the same time so strange they can hardly be taken serious. And that’s quite an accomplishment on its own.
