As a painter, filmmaker, and photographer Ulrike Ottinger created an entire artistic universe: in Cosmos Ottinger she leads through the multi-layered work in the course of eight stations. Screenplays, film props, objects, costumes, fabric collages, and photographs provide insight into Ottinger's visionary oeuvre spanning the past 60 years. Cosmos Ottinger is also the visualization of the artist’s life, an open-minded view into the world. Putting that world on a stage, the contributions by Çağla Ilk, Misal Adnan Yıldız, Katharina Sykora, Hannelore Paflik-Huber, Johanna Sentef, Hannah Black and Katharina Müller illuminate how Ottinger uses her distinct visual language to consistently question social structures of power, explore queer identities, and advocate for solidarity.Living in 1960s’ Paris, ULRIKE OTTINGER (*1942) was  part of the artistic circle of the "Nouvelle Figuration", before she moved to Berlin in 1973, where she became a pioneer of avant garde film. Her work has been shown at major international festivals and retrospectives, including New York’s MoMA, the Venice Biennale, and the Berlinale.weiterlesen
