In the cultural niches of the GDR, Christine Schlegel used painted and scratched-on 8mm stock to create her very own energetic cosmos of dance performance and projection.
Far removed from the officially propagated GDR cultural sector, Christine Schlegel created her very own energetic cosmos on 8mm stock between 1977 and 1986. She painted over or scratched lines and shapes on footage of the dancer Fine Kwiatkowski. She projected painted footage on the dancing body during live performances, enveloping and re-shaping it.
