Glasgow International
The Hunterian presents a solo exhibition of moving image works and photographs by the internationally renowned filmmaker and artist Ulrike Ottinger, accompanied by a retrospective screening of her key films.
Ulrike Ottinger (b. 1942, Konstanz, Germany) lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Ottinger’s work explores the world through images notable for their curiosity about different human cultures and for their visual power and intensity.
Among her major works are the ‘Berlin Trilogy’ (1979-1984), the feature film
Johanna d’Arc of Mongolia (1989) – an incredible journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway that takes a motley company of western women to the wilds of Inner Mongolia – and, applying an ethnographic lens to marginal European cultures,
Twelve Chairs (2004) and
Southeast Passage (2002).
This event will be complimented by a talk at the Goethe-Institut on the 20th of April. Details to follow.
